Football wins in classroom

Seven Butler football players were named to the Academic All-Pioneer Football League team on Feb. 9.  Four Bulldogs were named to the first team and three to the second team.

Juniors Andrew Huck, quarterback, and David Lang, placekicker, were named First-Team Academic All-PFL for the second consecutive year.

Senior offensive lineman Mike Staniewicz  also earned first-team honors this season, after being named to the second team in 2009.

Staniewicz, a finance major with a 3.37 GPA, started all 11 games in 2010 and 44 of 45 games during his four-year career.

Butler’s fourth first teamer was sophomore punter Michael Wilson, an economics major with a 3.98 GPA and a 38.5-yard average last fall.
