BIRMINGHAM, Alabama – Mississippi State saw 59 student-athletes named to the 2020-21 First-Year SEC Academic Honor Roll announced Tuesday by SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey and the conference office.

The First-Year SEC Academic Honor Roll recognizes student-athletes in their first season in residence at an SEC school and is based on grades from the 2020-21 academic calendar.

The track and field program combined for 15 selections, followed by 12 honorees apiece for the baseball and football teams, and one honoree for volleyball.

Today's announcement brings Mississippi State's total to 269 student-athletics named to a 2020-21 SEC Academic Honor Rolls. The Bulldogs placed 82 on the fall list, 15 on the winter list, a program-record 113 on the spring list and 59 on the first-year list.
