University of Dayton senior safety Doug Jones continues to add to the long list of honors and awards he has earned on the field and in the classroom in 2004. His latest accolade came today as he was named to the I-AA Athletic Director's Association Academic All-Star Team.

The Flyer co-captain had already been named to the 2004 American Football Coaches Association Division I-AA All-America team, UD's MVP, the Pioneer Football League' North Division Defensive Player of the Year, and repeated as both a Sports Network I-AA Mid-Major All-America, and ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America.

Jones was UD's leading tackler in 2004 (88 hits) and he tied for team honors in passes broken up (5). He intercepted two passes and returned one for a touchdown. He finished his career with his best-ever game, getting a career-high 19 tackles, forcing three fumbles and batting away two passes.

The Flyers were 7-3 in 2004. They were ranked #5 in the Football Gazette NCAA Division I-AA Mid-Major rankings, and sixth by the Sports Network
