BUIES CREEK, N.C. – Campbell has placed eight student-athletes on the 2022 Academic All-District® Football Team, selected by College Sports Communicators.

Long snapper Jackson Hayes, defensive tackle Gabe Holmes, defensive back and return specialist Josh McNeely, defensive end Prince Ngwenah, punter Corey Petersen, kicker Isaac Riffle, linebacker Keshawn Thompson and Jack Wilkes, another linebacker, all made the list, which recognizes the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances on the field or court and in the classroom.

The group includes four Camels that also earned All-Big South honors on Tuesday, including first team all-conference performers Hayes and McNeely, as well as second team member Petersen and all-academic team honoree Thompson.

Thompson, a Hillsborough, N.C. native, was also named one of 15 finalists for the FedEx Ground Doris Robinson Award, announced by Stats Perform.

The CSC Academic All-America® program separately recognizes football honorees in four divisions — NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III and NAIA.

Academic All-District® honorees advance to the CSC Academic All-America® ballot. First- and second-team Academic All-America® honorees will be announced in late December.
