LEWISBURG, Pa. -
The Bucknell football team landed 24 student-athletes on the Patriot League Academic Honor Roll, the league office announced on Friday. The total gave the Bison the highest number of student-athletes on the football Honor Roll as Holy Cross was second with 20 honorees.
The 24 Honor Roll members is the second-highest total in history by a Bison football squad, matching the team's 24 selections in 2003. To be eligible for the Academic Honor Roll, a student-athlete must earn a 3.20 grade-point average in the fall semester and be awarded a varsity letter.
Elsewhere around the league, Georgetown had 15 Honor Roll members, Lafayette and Fordham 13, Lehigh five and Colgate four.
The following are Bucknell's 2005 Patriot League Academic Honor Roll members from the football team.
