EKU offensive lineman Sam Reid in action.

Honors continue to come for Eastern Kentucky University’s football team.

Friday, offensive lineman Sam Reid was named to the 11th annual Football Championship Subdivision Athletics Director Association (FCS ADA) Academic All-Star team. (Try fitting that inscription on an award!)

The announcement was made at Chattanooga, Tenn., where Richmond will face Montana in the FCS title game. Reid is among 43 players cited, and one of two from the Ohio Valley Conference. To be eligible for the award, student-athletes must have a minimum grade-point average of 3.20 (on a 4.00 scale) and have been a starter or key player with legitimate credentials.

Reid, a second-team all-OVC pick from Carlisle, Ky., changed positions from tight end to center in 2008. He started all 12 games, helping the Colonels to their second OVC title in a row. A team captain, Reid earned his bachelor’s degree in criminal justice last spring and is now working towards a master’s degree. He is a member of the Chi Alpha Sigma National Athletic Honor Society.
