Bobby Jacobs Named Academic All-District

PEORIA, Ill. – Junior men’s golfer Bobby Jacobs (Valparaiso, Ind./Valparaiso) has been named to the 2015-16 College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) At-Large Academic All-District Team for District V, according to an announcement by CoSIDA Thursday.

Jacobs was a First-Team MVC Scholar-Athlete selection this spring and is the first Bradley men’s golfer to earn Academic All-District honors since Coby Thompson in 2010-11.

He played in 24 of 33 rounds and ranked fifth on the squad with a 78.42 season average. Jacobs matched a season-best 72 to help the Braves win the Bradley Invitational and tied for fourth at the I-74 Individual Challenge for his best finish of the year.
