It is the first time in Tech golf history that four of its players have been named All-America Scholars. Three Yellow Jackets were honored in 2005, 2006 and 2008. All four players made the Atlantic Coast Conference All-Academic golf team in June, while Schniederjans was named ACC Scholar-Athlete of the Year in the sport.
Tech finished the 2013-14 academic year ranked No. 2 in the nation by Golfweek magazine and No. 4 by Golfstat, winning six tournaments and capturing the program’s 15th ACC title. Schniederjans and Reeves are two of 18 collegiate golfers to be named to both the GCAA’s All-America teams (first, second, third and honorable mention) and All-America Scholars.
Andrews, who graduated with honors with a bachelor’s degree in Management in May, was named for the second straight year, the 13th Tech golfer to earn the honor twice. Reeves also graduated with his Management degree in May, while Albertson and Schniederjans are juniors in Management.
