NORMAL, Ill. – Illinois State offensive tackle Drew Himmelman had added another accolade to his impressive resume, as he was selected as a member of the 2020-21 Academic All-America® Division I team selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) on Monday.
Himmelman, a 2020-21 Second-Team Academic All-America® selection, earned a spot on the squad after being named an Academic All-District® 5 selection by CoSIDA earlier this summer. The Academic All-America® honor is the 11th for a Redbird football player in school history and the first since 2001, when linebacker Adam Waugh was selected for the second-straight time.
The Geneseo, Illinois, native's spot on the Academic All-America® list does not come at a big surprise, as he was one of 12 national finalists for the 2020 Campbell Trophy, often referred to as the "Academic Heisman." He also earned FCS ADA Academic All-Star Team honors for the second time in his career. The 2020-21 Missouri Valley Football Conference Scholar-Athlete of the Year, Himmelman carried a 3.82 grade point average as an undergraduate in exercise science and a 4.00 GPA while pursuing a master's degree in biomechanics. He is a repeat Missouri Valley Football Conference All-Academic Team first-team selection (2019 and 2021).
In addition to his academic honors, Himmelman also earned 2020-21 All-America honors for his work on the gridiron from HERO Sports, the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA), Stats Perform and The Associated Press. Following his career at Illinois State, Himmelman signed an undrafted free agent contract with the Denver Broncos and is currently pursuing his professional football career.
