Congressman Robert Aderholt announced Thursday the nomination of several exceptional students from Alabama’s Fourth Congressional District to attend the United States Service Academies.

“Each of these young leaders has shown remarkable academic achievement, leadership, and commitment to service,” Aderholt said. “I’m proud to nominate them for admission to our nation’s service academies and wish them continued success as they pursue lives of honor and duty.”

Aderholt submitted nominations for the following students:

U.S. Military Academy (West Point)

  • Kate Seidel, daughter of Dr. Steven Seidel—Indian Springs School, Vinemont resident
  • Anglin Young, son of Brett and Laura Young—Northridge High School, Tuscaloosa
  • Cooper Scott, son of Chuck and Beth Rigsby—Albertville High School, Albertville

U.S. Naval Academy

  • Ferrin Thorne, daughter of Derek Thorne and Valerie Thorne—Tuscaloosa County High School, Northport
  • Eleanor Little, daughter of Justin and Ashley Little—Homeschool, Northport
  • Ayden Gargis, son of Wesley and Bethany Gargis—Brooks High School, Killen

U.S. Air Force Academy

  • Anglin Young

Aderholt nominated Young to both the U.S. Military Academy at West Point and the U.S. Air Force Academy, and he has already received acceptance notifications from both—a testament to his accomplishments and dedication.

Service academy nominations are highly competitive and reflect excellence in academics, character, leadership and a desire to serve in the U.S. Armed Forces.
