Greenwood, Ind. — The Catawba College Football team had eight student-athletes named to the College Sports Communicators' Academic All-District team, the organization announced Tuesday afternoon.
 
The Catawba Indians' graduate students Preston Brown, Dru Dotter and Dallas Foard, senior Rickey Jones, redshirt junior Luke Raykovicz, junior Jaylen Hinton and redshirt sophomores Gavin Moore and Kyle Perry earned the honor, bestowed upon a maximum of eight student-athletes per football program who earned at least a 3.5 cumulative grade-point average and met participation requirements set by CSC.
