AMES, Iowa – Iowa State head football coach Matt Campbell has been selected to the CoSIDA Academic All-America Hall of Fame, announced by CoSIDA today.

Campbell joins three other inductees (Dr. Jen Babik, Gail Koziara Boudreaux, Marty Liquori) in the 2022 Hall of Fame class that will be enshrined into the Academic All-America Hall of Fame at CoSIDA’s annual convention in Las Vegas on June 28.

“I am absolutely thrilled and humbled to be inducted into the CoSIDA Academic All-America Hall of Fame,” Campbell said. “This prestigious Hall of Fame has a list of incredible student-athletes who have achieved in academics, athletics and in their professional lives, and to be mentioned among these incredible people is amazing. This award is special to me because I know the importance of academics. It’s something we stress to our current student-athletes daily. I am incredibly honored to receive this award and I want to thank the voting committee for selecting me in this process.”

The three-time Big 12 Coach of the Year and 2018 Mount Union Athletics Hall of Fame inductee has claimed numerous awards in his career, but today’s announcement will rank as one of his greatest achievements. Created in 1988, the CoSIDA Academic All-America Hall of Fame recognizes Academic All-Americas who have achieved lifetime success in their professional careers and are committed to philanthropic causes in the communities where they reside.

A total of 162 Academic All-Americas have been inducted into the Hall of Fame since its inception. Included members are athletic super stars Rebecca Lobo, Steve Young, John Stockton, Danny Ainge, Bernie Kosar, Bill Walton, John Wooden, Bill Bradley and Drew Brees.
