INDIANAPOLIS – University of Indianapolis football claimed a pair of Academic All-America selections on Wednesday as Toriano Clinton and Connor Steeb were both named to the 2020-21 Academic All-America Football team as selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA).  The annual release recognizes the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances athletically and in the classroom.

UIndy football now stands at 20 CoSIDA All-America selections in program history with their first selections since Mike Phillips in 2013.
 
Though he played in just two games, Clinton made a giant impact on the shortened spring season.  The highlight came in the inaugural GLVC Championship game when the Calumet, Ill., product racked up 235 rushing yards and scored four total touchdowns, leading the Greyhounds to a 46-29 victory.  Clinton owns a 3.42 GPA in Sport Management and is currently the program's career leader in both rushing average (8.4 yds per carry) and kickoff return average (33.2 yds per att).
 
A three-year starter at safety, Steeb capped his Greyhound career this spring with an All-GLVC First Team nod from the league's coaches. The Greenwood, Ind., native and former Center Grove High School standout led the GLVC with 27 total tackles on the year, adding three pass break-ups in the aforementioned GLVC Championship game. Steeb is a 3.8 student in UIndy's MBA program.
