CLEVELAND (January 7, 2024) – The Football Championship Subdivision Athletics Directors Association (FCS ADA) unveiled its 26
th annual Academic All-Star Team where Howard University junior linebacker
Terrance Hollon (Cleveland) was among the 52 student-athletes acknowledged. The announcement came Sunday morning.
During his undergraduate studies, the Cleveland native has a 3.87 grade point average. In December, he was selected to the 2023 Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) Football All-Academic Team.
Each of the nominees were required to have a minimum grade point average of 3.20 (on a 4.00 scale) in undergraduate or graduate study and have been a starter or key player with legitimate athletics credentials. They must have reached their second year of athletics and academic standing at the nominated institution and have completed a minimum of one full academic year at the nominated institution. They also must have participated in 50 percent of the games played at their designated position.
"These young men excel at high levels in the classroom and demonstrate the commitment on the field and in the community," said current FCS ADA President and Stephen F. Austin State University Director of Athletics
Ryan Ivey. "Annually, we have the good fortune to read about and select the next group of outstanding leaders for our division and this year is no different. My congratulations to each of the student-athletes nominated and those selected below for this outstanding achievement."
The All-MEAC First Team selection wrapped up his second year at The Mecca, producing 67 total tackles (45 solos), including 5.5 tackles for loss, and 1.5 sacks. In the homecoming victory over Norfolk State (Oct. 21, 2023), he racked up a season-high 13 total tackles (nine solos).
Howard finished the 2023 campaign 6-6 (4-1 MEAC), winning back-to-back MEAC titles while earning its first-ever berth to the Cricket Celebration Bowl.
