NEWTOWN, Pa. – Samuel Moratori has been named to the All-MAC Academic team for football. Moratori becomes the first Albright football student-athlete to make the Academic team since the 2022 season.

The Fall Academic All-MAC teams recognize the top student-athletes both in the classroom and in athletic competition during the 2024 fall semester. The MAC sports information directors nominate and vote for the Academic All-MAC teams, giving 50 percent weight on both academic success and athletic success. A student athlete must have a fall semester grade-point average (GPA) of 3.20 or higher to be eligible for the award.

Moratori had a career year from his safety position leading the MAC in total tackles (111) and solo tackles (67). Moratori was the only player in the conference to record 60 or more solo tackles and was just one of four players in the conference to record 100 or more tackles.

The junior safety started in all 10 games for the Lions recording eight or more tackles in every game. Moratori's career high of 15 tackles in a game came against 2024 MAC Champion King's College. Additionally, Moratori added three tackles for loss and recorded three pass breakups.
