Safety Ryan Janvion, linebacker Hunter Williams and quarterback John Wolford earned the recognition.
Janvion was honored on the All-Academic team for the third consecutive season while Williams and Wolford are both repeat selections.
Janvion played in 11 games last fall and finished second on the team with 72 tackles. Williams was fifth on the team with 60 tackles and was second on the club with 7.5 tackles for loss. Wolford started 10 of 12 games in 2015 and led the team with 1,791 yards passing and nine touchdown passes.
