Now in its 76th year, the Ohio Valley Conference continues to build on the success that has made it the nation's eighth-oldest NCAA Division I conference. Over those previous 75 years the League has inspired student-athletes to realize their academic aspirations, maximize their athletics potential, and cultivate their leadership skills to prepare them for life beyond their collegiate experience.
As part of a partnership with
Digital Scoreboards, each week through the academic year, we will honor an OVC student-athlete who has excelled in the classroom, in addition to earning accolades on the playing surface.
This week's honoree is Eastern Illinois fifth year forward
Maxwell Allen. Last year he earned academic all-conference honors for his work in the classroom. In 2022 he recorded 1,155 minutes of playing time. This year he was played in seven games, and recording a goal in 607 total minutes on the pitch.
