Patriot League Football 2007 Academic Honor Roll 
Center Valley, Pa. - A record 124 student-athletes were named to the 2007 Patriot League Football Academic Honor Roll, Executive Director Carolyn Schlie Femovich announced on Friday.
Georgetown senior Kyle Van Fleet heads up the honorees after receiving the 2007 Patriot League Football Scholar-Athlete of the Year award in November. He recently accepted a full-time position working in the derivatives group for Goldman Sachs Investment Banking Division in New York City. A Georgetown captain in 2007, Van Fleet was a semifinalist for the Draddy Trophy, better known as football's "Academic Heisman". He was also selected to the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District first-team. Van Fleet has now been named to the Academic Honor Roll in all four of his seasons.
Lehigh senior Pete Donchez and Lafayette sophomore Chris Cosgrove each earned a 4.0 grade point average in the fall semester. Donchez majors in Finance at Lehigh, while Cosgrove is a Biology major at Lafayette.
The mark of 124 honorees eclipses the previous high of 114 on the Football Academic Honor Roll in 2002. Georgetown led all schools with 36 student-athletes named to the Honor Roll, while Lafayette had 21, Bucknell had 20 and Lehigh notched 19.
To be eligible for the Academic Honor Roll, a student-athlete must earn a 3.20 grade-point average in the fall semester and be awarded a varsity letter in one of the Patriot League's seven fall championship sports.
