The duo earned the 71st and 72nd Academic All-American awards in Rose-Hulman history, including the 27th and 28th awards for the Engineer football program.  Rose-Hulman's football team has also had at least one Academic All-American for each of the last six seasons, dating to 2002.

Guiney and Reives also help Rose-Hulman continue its tradition of excellence in the Academic All-America program, as at least one Fightin' Engineer student-athlete earned the honor for 22 consecutive years.

Reives also set Rose-Hulman history with his selection, becoming the first student-athlete in school history to earn Academic All-American honors in two different sports.  He claimed second-team Academic All-American accolades in track and field last spring.

Guiney ranks fifth in school history with six career fumble recoveries and fell just one shy of tying Rose-Hulman's career school record.  He finished third on the team with 53 tackles, including 37 solo efforts.

The mechanical engineering major emerged as big play threat in the Engineer secondary this season, as the team's only play with an interception, forced fumble, fumble recovery and sack during the 2007 season.

Guiney's accolades also include all-conference honors as a member of track and field relay teams at the 2007 HCAC championships, and helping the team achieve its best record since 1994 at 7-3 this season.

Reives returned a kickoff 98 yards for a touchdown for the first Engineer kickoff return for a score since the 1989 season.  The big play threat amassed six of the team's seven plays that covered 50 or more yards this fall and led the HCAC in average yards per reception at 21.9.

On the year, Reives hauled in 29 pass receptions for 634 yards and four touchdowns and also returned 16 kickoffs for 372 yards.  He ranked third in the league in receiving yards per game and also booted 26 punts for a 32.8 average per kick.

Guiney and Reives helped the Engineer senior class complete their career with a 22-18 record, the best mark by a Rose-Hulman graduating class since 1990.  The team showed improvement during each year of their college careers, from four wins as freshmen to seven this fall.
