TERRE HAUTE, Ind. -- Indiana State's Max Wright made history Thursday when the junior was named a 2019 Google Cloud Academic All-American. It marks the first Academic All-American honor in program history for the Sycamores. Wright became just the seventh Academic All-District award winner for the Sycamores earlier in May and the first since 2011.
Wright, a third team honoree, started 57 of Indiana State's 61 games in 2019 at catcher, including 30-straight games to close out the season. He finished with a .296 batting average to go along with four home runs and 36 RBI.
