Wall's Conrad Kjerstad was one of four South Dakota State University football players named to the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District Team on Thursday.
Also earning spots on the 24-player squad were seniors Ryan Berry and Kevin Robling, and sophomore Kyle Minett. All four will advance to the national ballot for Academic All-America consideration. SDSU's four selections to the University Division squad were the most of any team in District VII.
Kjerstad, a sophomore safety, was selected to the academic all-district team with a 3.90 GPA in pre-economics. A member of the Great West Football Conference All-Academic Team in 2007, Kjerstad shares the team lead with two interceptions this season and is tied for seventh on the team with 34 tackles despite missing some time due to injury.
