Bucknell senior LB Travis Nissley, along with Columbia's Alex Gross, are the two FCS players announced today to the National Football Foundation's Scholar-Athlete class.

"Past National Scholar-Athletes include former NFL standout Derrick Brooks, (Florida State); actor Mark Harmon (UCLA); NASA astronaut Leland Melvin (Richmond); former Dateline NBC anchor Stone Phillips (Yale); chairman of Augusta National Golf Club, home of the Masters Tournament, Billy Payne (Georgia); famed NFL quarterback Steve Young (BYU); and Heisman Trophy winners Terry Baker (Oregon State), Gary Beban (UCLA), Doug Flutie (Boston College) and Danny Wuerffel (Florida)."

Congratulations to Alex (who decimated us a couple of weeks ago) and to Travis (who will have his shot at us this Saturday).
