May 8, 2014 | Wrestling
North Carolina junior wrestler Alex Utley was named to the 2013-14 NCWA Division I All-Academic Team, the organization announced Wednesday. Utley, who was also named to the 2014 ACC All-Academic Team for the third year in a row, finished 21-14 overall and 12-4 in duals.
"The NWCA All-Academic Team and Individual Team is one of the best acknowledgements that we can give to our coaches and athletes at the end of a physically grueling season," said NWCA Executive Director Mike Moyer. "These young men have proved that they are not only talented competitors but are leaders in the classroom as well. The NWCA Board of Directors and staff look forward to watching these student-athletes continue their success at the collegiate level and eventually as the leaders of the future once they earn their college degrees."
A native of Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, Utley was also named to the NWCA All-Academic Team in 2012-13. In addition to his success in the classroom, Utley is also active in the Baddour Carolina Leadership Academy as a veteran leader.
