ATLANTA -- Georgia State specialist
Seth Glausier has been named to the 2020-21 Academic All-District® Football Team, selected by CoSIDA, which recognizes the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances on the field and in the classroom.
Glausier, who maintains a 3.99 grade point average majoring in business management, is now eligible for the CoSIDA Academic All-America® Football Team.
A rising junior from Jefferson, Ga. (Jefferson High School), Glausier is a two-year starter on special teams for the Panthers, serving as the long-snapper on punts. In 2020, he made two tackles on punt coverage and recovered a fumbled punt at the opponent 37-yard line to set up a touchdown in Georgia State's win over ULM. He also had a fumble recovery as a freshman.
In 2019, Glausier snapped the ball to all-conference punter Brandon Wright, now with the NFL's Los Angeles Rams.
Glausier and the Panthers open the 2021 season by hosting Army on Sept. 4 at Center Parc Stadium. Season tickets are on sale now by visiting GeorgiaStateSports.com/TIX or calling 404-413-4160.
