Griffin, Deters Named To FCS ADA Academic Team
January 13, 2020 | Football
Andrew Griffin and Alex Deters were major contributors to an 8-2 football team this past fall. Their impact on the Princeton campus didn't stop there though.
Griffin, a senior wide receiver, and Deters, a senior center, were both named to the 53-man Football Championship Subdivision Athletic Directors Association Academic All-Star Team.
For Griffin, the honor from the FCS ADA comes in addition to his recent selection as a CoSIDA national first-team Academic All-America, Princeton's fifth ever and first in 22 years. In his first full year as a starter, Griffin caught 34 passes for 490 yards and a team-best six touchdowns. He also tied the Princeton and Ivy League records for TD receptions in a game with four against Bucknell.
A native of Avon, Ind., Griffin is a computer science major.
Deters was a first-team All-Ivy League selection after anchoring the offensive line on a team that averaged 32.2 points per game and 425.2 yards per game, both of which ranked in the top 30 of the 124 teams in the FCS.
Deters is a classics major from Cincinnati.
Griffin and Deters were two of the five players in the Ivy League to be selected for the team.
