The all-academic team consists of student-athletes that have earned a 3.2 cumulative grade point average or better and are a starter or key reserve on the football team.
Heos, a senior from Pearland, concluded his career at Rice by starting 35 of the last 36 games at guard. He carries a 3.44 GPA and is majoring in Health Sciences.
The lone sophomore to be honored this year, Sendejo carries a 3.47 GPA in Kinesiology. He led the Owls with 107 tackles and five interceptions this year.
