The Honors Roll in for Penn State Student Athletes

Senior offensive lineman Stefen Wisniewski last week became Penn State’s first ever three-time Academic All-American; on Monday, we were reminded that he’s just as sharp on the field as in the classroom. Wisniewski was named an All-American by the American Football Coaches Association, the first of a handful of recognized All-American teams to be announced for the 2010 season.

He wasn’t the only Penn Stater honored in the past few days. Corey Hertzog, who led the nation with 20 goals for the men’s soccer team this season, has been named national Player of the Year by TopDrawerSoccer.com. Hertzog led the Nittany Lions to the third round of the NCAA tournament, where they lost Sunday to defending national champion Maryland.

And on Monday, Lady Lion rookie Maggie Lucas was named Big Ten Freshman of the Week for the second time this season. The 5-foot-9 guard is averaging better than 15 points per game for the Lady Lions, who are off to a 6-1 start.
