IRVING, TEXAS (December 4, 2008) Mustangs Mitch Enright and Pete Fleps have been named to the 2008 Conference USA Football All-Academic Team, the league office announced today.
The team consists of three seniors, five juniors, two sophomores, and a redshirt
freshman. A student-athlete must have a 3.2 cumulative grade point average or
better and be a starter or key reserve on the football team to be eligible. SMU,
Houston, Memphis, Rice and Tulsa landed two student-athletes apiece on the 14
member team, while Marshall, Southern Miss, Tulane and UTEP each had one.
Enright, a junior from Southlake, was named to the team after capturing a 3.99
GPA as a management major. Enright is now enrolled in SMU's prestigious Cox
School of Business and is pursuing his MBA after graduating with an
undergraduate degree in management in just three years. He is a two-time member
of the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District Football Team and a Conference
USA Academic Medal winner. He made the Commissioner's Honor Roll in 2006 and
2007 and was a two-year starter and member of the Rimington Trophy Watch List.
Fleps, a sophomore also from Southlake, is a marketing major with a 3.54 GPA. He
notched 23 tackles in one game at Navy, which ranks as the fourth-most ever in a
game by a C-USA player, and led SMU with 106 tackles in 2008. He had four pass
breakups, 6.5 tackles for-loss, three sacks and two forced fumbles this past
season and was a winner of a 2006 Conference USA Academic Medal and a two-year
member of the Commissioner's Honor Roll.
