Six Panthers Make the Pre-Season All Academic Team (July 2006)

            The Rodgers Recruiting Report , operated by Texas Recruiting Analyst Randy Rodgers, releases its second annual Pre Season All Academic Football Team for the state of Texas.  Now in its 10^th year of providing recruiting information to college and high school coaches, as well as parents and student athletes, The Rodgers Recruiting Report is recognizing rising seniors (Class of 2009) who have a gpa of 3.0 or better and a test score of at least 1000 (SAT) or 21 (ACT).  Over 200 players were nominated by their high school coaches and counselors. 

            “It was our intention,” states RRR’s Randy Rodgers, “to recognize outstanding student athletes, who have excelled on both the field and in the classroom.  While many of these players will eventually sign athletic scholarships, there are so many more that can benefit from the considerable amount of academic scholarship assistance that exists.  Our purpose is to furnish our database to those schools that do recruit students on the basis of academic scholarships.  Its my opinion we have only scratched the surface of the vast pool of deserving Texas high school athletes.”
