COSIDA RELEASE
CEDAR FALLS, Iowa – After excelling on the gridiron and in the classroom this season, Northern Iowa junior running back Marcus Weymiller earned CoSIDA Academic All-District honors, the organization announced Thursday.
First Team Academic All-District honorees advance to the CoSIDA Academic All-America Team ballot, with the list of Academic All-America recipients being announced later in December.
Weymiller's 3.96 GPA was the fourth-highest for District 6 honorees, while ranking as the highest among running backs across all districts in Division I. The junior is political science major at UNI, earning a spot on the honor roll each season.
A native of Waukon, Iowa, Weymiller has gained 571 yards rushing this year since being inserted into the backfield midseason. Weymiller has found the end zone six times, scoring at least one touchdown in four out of his last five games.
Weymiller had a breakout performance against South Dakota State on Oct. 14, earning his first carry in over year as the junior gained 170 yards on 42 attempts against the Jackrabbits. Overall, Weymiller has eclipsed the 100-yard rushing mark three times this season.
