Senior Wide Receiver Brian Putman Gains CoSIDA Academic All-America Honors

It was announced earlier today that University of Redlands senior wide receiver Brian Putman (Bakersfield, CA) was named to the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) Academic All-America Second Team for the College Division.

After being named to the Academic All-District First Team, Putman gains his All-America honor on the heels of a record-setting season at Redlands. He broke the school record for receptions in a season with 77 catches while leading the team in various other categories. He racked up a team-leading 1033 receiving yards for an average of 114.8 yards per game. In addition, he broke through the opponents’ goal line on 12 occasions to account for nearly one-half of the team’s receiving touchdowns. He also ranked first among the Bulldogs in all-purpose yards.

Putman currently sits 10th in Division III in catches per game and 11th in receiving yards per game.

Earlier this season, he was named the Press-Enterprise’s Performer of the Week after providing the fourth-best total in school history for receiving yards in a single game with 212 yards on 11 catches on Oct. 3.

This Accounting major owns a cumulative GPA of 3.91 and has landed on the Dean’s List three times.
