Seth Adelsperger has been named to the 2019-20 CoSIDA Academic All-District® Division I Men's Basketball Team, the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) announced Thursday.
The 6-11 center has been a central figure in Belmont's championship and postseason tradition. With his redshirt year in 2016, Adelsperger has been part of 115 victories - including Power 5 victories over UCLA, Marquette, Georgia, Vanderbilt and Boston College - three conference championships, four postseason invitations and Belmont's first-ever NCAA Tournament at-large bid.
The Peru, Indiana native has 48 career blocked shots and is averaging 3.1 blocked shots per 40 minutes this season.
A two-time member of the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) Honors Court, a perennial OVC Commissioner's Honor Roll recipient and 2019 Academic Medal of Honor recipient - emblematic of a 4.0 PGA for the academic year - Adelsperger currently holds a 3.77 grade-point average in his chosen major of environmental science, with a mathematics minor.
Adelsperger becomes the 23rd Belmont men's basketball student-athlete named Academic All-District.
The 2019-20 College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) Academic All-District® Men's Basketball Team recognizes the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances on the court and in the classroom. First-team Academic All-District® honorees advance to the CoSIDA Academic All-America® Team ballot, with first-, second- and third-team Academic All-America honorees to be announced in March.
The Academic All-District® teams include the student-athletes divided into eight geographic districts across the United States and Canada.
