Leonhard Named 2nd Team Academic All-American
December 02, 2003 | Football
Jim Leonhard, a junior defensive back with the Wisconsin football team, has earned a spot on the CoSIDA Academic All-America second-team.
Leonhard, a two-time Academic All-Big Ten choice, was voted to the second team by the College Sports Information Directors of America after he earned Academic All-District 5 honors earlier this fall.
A kinesiology major from Tony, Wis., Leonhard leads the Big Ten with six interceptions and ranks third in the conference with a 14.0-yard punt return average.
The Badgers will later this week begin preparations for their New Year's Eve appearance in the Gaylord Hotels Music City Bowl in Nashville.
