SCSU Football Places Three On 2022 Academic All-District® Team

NEW HAVEN, Conn. - Southern Connecticut football's Robert Nunez (Valley Stream, N.Y.), Tim O'Shea (Southington, Conn.) and Garrhett Watrous (Deep River, Conn.) were named to the 2022 Academic All-District® Football Team, selected by College Sports Communicators (formerly CoSIDA). 

The 2022 Academic All-District® teams recognize the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances on the field and in the classroom. . The CSC Academic All-America® program separately recognizes football honorees in four divisions — NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III and NAIA. Selection to the team was contingent on student-athletes appearing in 50% of their teams' games and hosting a cumulative grade-point average of 3.50-or-higher.
 
Academic All-District® honorees advance to the CSC Academic All-America® ballot. First-, second- and third-team Academic All-America® honorees will be announced in early December. The CSC Academic All-District® teams include the student-athletes listed on the following pages.

Nunez completed another stellar year on defense for the Owls, totaling 78 tackles while appearing in all 11 games. Nunez also recorded three tackles for loss, including a sack, and had two pass breakups. Nunez, an exercise science major with a 3.905 grade-point average, was named to the 2021 NE10 All-Rookie team as a freshman last season and also earned NE10 Academic All-Conference honors. 

O'Shea had 18 catches in 11 games for 180 yards as the Owls' starting tight end, including two touchdowns. O'Shea was also the team's holder on field goals. Shea graduated last spring with a bachelor's degree in communications and is currently working towards a master's in sport managment. He holds a 3.55 GPA.
