Stanford seniors Jesse Burkett and Harrison Phillips were named second team Academic All-America Football on Thursday by the College Sports Information Directors of America.

This is the first time Stanford has two Academic All-Americans in the same season since Chase Beeler (first team) and Owen Marecic (second team) in 2010.

Phillips is the fourth defensive lineman in program history to earn Academic All-America accolades and first since Harry Anderson in 2014. Burkett is Stanford's sixth offensive lineman named Academic All-America, and first since Beeler.

Burkett is the Cardinal's starting center and holds a 3.50 grade-point average as a double major in Japanese and symbolic systems.

The St. Augustine, Florida, product has led the Stanford offense to its fifth-best rushing season in school history, and was a catalyst for unanimous All-America running back Bryce Love.
