today announced the 2022 Academic All-District Football Team, which recognizes the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances on the field and in the classroom. The CSC Academic All-America® program recognizes football honorees in four divisions — NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III and the 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.
Thirteen of the finalists for the 2022 Campbell Trophy®/members of the 2022 NFF National Scholar-Athlete Class Presented by Fidelity Investments were selected to the Academic All-District teams this year:
Anders Carlson (Auburn),
Jake Chisholm (Dayton),
Nicholas D'Ambrose (Chicago [IL]),
Ryan Greenhagen (Fordham),
Oso Ifesinachukwu (Yale),
Ahofitu Maka (UTSA),
Peter Oliver (Holy Cross),
Walter Rouse (Stanford),
Austin Stidham (Troy),
Julius Wilkerson (Wayne State [MI]),
Austin Williams (Mississippi State),

Michael Wozniak (Saint John's [MN]).
Patrick Fields, a member of the 2021 NFF National Scholar-Athlete Class at Oklahoma who transferred to play at Stanford this fall with his extra year of eligibility due to the pandemic, was also selected to the Academic All-District teams.
This marks the fourth Academic All-District selection for Chisholm, who went on to become a First Team Academic All-American in 2020 and 2021 and a Second Team Academic All-American in 2019. Oliver also becomes a four-time Academic All-District honoree.
Carlson, Greenhagen, Maka, Stidham and Williams all become three-time Academic All-District selections. Carlson and Williams are both two-time First Team Academic All-Americans while Greenhagen and Stidham are both two-time Second Team Academic All-Americans.
This is the second time that D'Ambrose, Woods and Wozniak have earned Academic All-District honors, and all three also earned First Team Academic All-America status in 2021.
Ifesinachukwu, Rouse and Wilkerson are Academic All-District selections for the first time in their collegiate careers.
This was the third Academic All-District selection for Fields, who was also a First Team Academic All-American (2021) and Second Team Academic All-American (2020) while he was at Oklahoma.
