The Indianapolis Colts and the Indiana Football Coaches Association (IFCA) have announced the Colts Indiana High School Academic All-Star Team, presented by Forté Sports Medicine and Orthopedics, which honors state high school football players who excel in the classroom as well as on the field.
“The Colts are proud to join the IFCA in recognizing these student-athletes for succeeding at the highest level both on the field and in the classroom,” said Colts Legend and current Football Development Commissioner Mike Prior. “As demonstrated by their accomplishments, these young men will serve as role models for their teammates and fellow students and great ambassadors for our sport.”
Now in its 27th year, nominations for the award are collected from coaches across the state each season. The IFCA then selects the top student-athletes to receive the recognition.
This year’s team includes 24 seniors – 11 offensive players, 11 defensive players and two special teams players. All are ranked in the top 15 of their class, and 16 are either class valedictorian or salutatorian.
