ST. PAUL, MINN. – The postseason awards continue to roll in for the University of St. Thomas football team. Five Tommies were named to the Pioneer Football League (PFL) Academic All-Conference team Wednesday afternoon, the most in the program's DI era.
Ryan Sever (Edina, Minn. / Benilde-St. Margaret), Andy Peters (Boise, Idaho / Timberline), and Elliot Huether (Minnetonka, Minn. / Benilde-St. Margaret) were named First Team Academic All-Conference Wednesday afternoon, while James Morrison (West St. Paul, Minn. / Cretin-Derham Hall) and Patrick Wagner (Crofton, Md. / Archbishop Spalding) garnered Second Team honors.
