MOSCOW, Idaho- University of Idaho senior wide receiver Jacob Sannon was named to the 2017 CoSIDA Football Academic All-America First Team, the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) announced Thursday. Sannon is the fifth Vandal football student-athlete to earn Academic All-America distinction since the award's inception in 1952, and Idaho's second first-team honoree.

He is just the third first-team Academic All-American in school history, regardless of sport, and the first since 1973. Football student-athlete Bruce Langmeade garnered Idaho's first such honor in 1970, followed by baseball student-athlete William Tomtell in 1973.
