Foster, a 6-foot-4, 220-pound junior defensive end, carries a 3.77 grade-point average majoring in family consumer science and fashion merchandising. He received NSIC South Division Honorable Mention honors on the field this season after ranking third on the Wildcat defense with 52 total tackles (40 solo).
Foster tied for sixth in the NSIC in tackles for loss (13 for 84 yds) and was tied for seventh in the NSIC with two forced fumbles to go with 6.5 sacks for 59 yards.

The award is voted on by the College Sports Information Directors of America and recognizes the nation’s top student-athletes for their combined performances on the field and in the classroom. Foster is the first Wildcat since Jon Davis in 2014 to receive Academic All-District honors and now advances to the All-America ballot, with honorees to be announced in early December.
