T?trault, a mathematics major from Lincoln, Neb., earned the prestigious accolade for the second time in his career with hopes of notching another CoSIDA Academic All-America award. T?trault earned third-team Academic All-America honors for the first time last season. Should he claim another CoSIDA honor, he would be the third of three Huskers Nebraska history to capture more than one Academic All-America award.

 

In addition to his CoSIDA academic selections, T?trault was recently named Nebraska’s Male Student-Athlete of the Year for his academic and athletic contributions. He has garnered numerous awards in his four years at Nebraska, including the coveted Jim Hartung award. T?trault is a three-time College Gymnastics Association First-Team All-America Scholar-Athlete and has earned Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Academic All-Conference awards on three occasions. T?trault has also made the Big 12 Commissioner’s Honor Roll six times in his career.

 

T?trault, one of the top all-arounders to ever compete for Nebraska, has captured three NCAA All-America honors in his career. In just his freshman season, T?trault placed fifth on vault at the NCAA Championships to earn his first All-America honor. He then captured two more All-America honors during his junior season on both pommel horse and the all-around.

 

T?trault holds a 3.74 grade-point average and is scheduled to complete his mathematics degree in August. He plans to attend medical school upon his graduation.
