Conference Office Closes School Year with First-Year SEC Academic Honor Roll

COLUMBIA, S.C. – A total of 1,903 student-athletes were named to the 2024-25 First-Year SEC Academic Honor Roll, Friday by SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey. The First-Year SEC Academic Honor Roll is based on grades from the 2024-25 academic calendar. It includes freshmen and first-year transfers.

South Carolina had 154 student-athletes make the list, breaking the department’s previous record of 142 in 2020. Among conference schools, the Gamecocks ranked third overall for most honorees, marking back-to-back school years in the top three of the SEC

Any student-athlete who participates in a Southeastern Conference championship sport or a student-athlete who participates in a sport listed on his/her institution’s NCAA Sports Sponsorship Form is eligible for nomination to the Academic Honor Roll. The following criteria will be followed: (1) An undergraduate student-athlete must have a grade point average of 3.00 or above for either the preceding academic year (two semesters or three quarters) or have a cumulative grade point average of 3.00 or above at the nominating institution. A graduate student-athlete must have a grade point average of 3.0 or above for either the preceding academic year (two semesters or three quarters) of graduate school enrollment or have a cumulative graduate school grade point average of 3.00 or above at the nominating institution. Undergraduate grade point average may not be included in the graduate point average calculation for a graduate student. (2) If a student-athlete attends summer school, his/her grade point average during the summer academic term must be included in the calculation used to determine eligibility for the Academic Honor Roll. (3) Student-athletes eligible for the Honor Roll include those receiving an athletics scholarship, recipients of an athletics award (i.e., letter winner), and non-scholarship student-athletes who have been on a varsity team for two seasons. (4) An undergraduate student-athlete must have successfully completed 24 semester or 36 quarter hours of non-remedial academic credit toward a baccalaureate degree at the nominating institution. A graduate student-athlete must have successfully completed 18 semester or 27 quarter hours of academic credit toward a graduate degree at the nominating institution.
