PEORIA, IL - Bradley juniors Clark Emerson (Grand Prairie, TX/Mansfield Lake Ridge HS) and Jacob Taylor (Dunlap, IL/Dunlap HS) both are under consideration for College Sports Information Directors of America Academic All-America honors after being selected to the Academic All-District 5 team Thursday.
Emerson is a repeat selection for the CoSIDA Academic All-District 5 squad, making him the fifth player in Bradley Soccer history to earn the distinction twice in his career (Dan Thorstenson, Chris Dunsheath, Todd Reedy and Bobby Smith). A finance major boasting a perfect 4.0 grade point average, Emerson plays primarily as a defensive midfielder and he is tied for third on the team this season with three points on a goal and an assist.
