Football’s Auburn, Majors named to Academic All-America First Team

AUSTIN, Texas – Texas Football junior kicker Bert Auburn and senior center Jake Majors were named to the 2024 College Sports Communicators (CSC) Academic All-America First Team, the CSC announced Tuesday. It's the second-consecutive year the duo has been selected to the Academic All-America team after earning Second-Team distinguishment in 2023.

With the selection of Auburn and Majors, Texas has garnered five Academic All-American accolades over the last three years, with the duo joining EDGE Ovie Oghoufo, who earned second-team honors in 2022. It's the first time Texas has had two First-Team Academic All-America selections in the same year since having two in 2009 and marks just the fourth time it has happened in program history (1972, 2007, 2009, 2024).
