Jake Bobo Selected to First-Team Academic All-America Squad
December 20, 2022 | Football
UCLA wide receiver Jake Bobo has been voted to the first team of the 2022 Academic All-Americaยฎ football team selected by the College Sports Communicators which was released on Tuesday. The CSC Academic All-Americaยฎ Team recognizes the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances on the field and in the classroom. Each student-athlete must attain a 3.5 cumulative grade point average or higher to be eligible for the award honors.
ย
Bobo, a grad transfer to UCLA from Duke, posted a 3.54 undergraduate GPA as an economics major as a Blue Devil and has earned a 3.86 mark while a Bruin where he is enrolled in the graduate program in Transformative Coaching and Leadership.
ย
Bobo is the leading receiver on the UCLA team this season. He has made 54 catches for a team-best 789 yards. Bobo's total of seven touchdown receptions this season is tied for sixth in the Pac-12. He ended the regular season 10th in the Pac-12 in both yards per game (65.75) and receiving yards. Bobo caught a season-high eight passes at Oregon, adding 101 receiving yards and a touchdown. It was his second 100-yard game of this season (also Washington-142 yards). He had two scoring receptions in wins against both Utah and Washington.
ย
The Duke transfer is a past honoree on the Academic All-ACC (Atlantic Coast Conference) squad and as a CoSIDA All-District selection. He is the first Bruin football player to earn first-team Academic All-America honors since offensive lineman Chris Joseph did so following the 2007 and 2006 seasons.
ย
No. 18 UCLA will square off against Pittsburgh on Friday, Dec. 30 in the Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl in El Paso in a game to be televised on CBS beginning at 11 a.m. PT.
