BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Success in the classroom continues for Mississippi State as 65 student-athletes made the 2021 Fall SEC Academic Honor Roll on Tuesday, as announced by SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey. The Bulldogs were among 1,182 total athletes named to the list.

The 2021 Fall SEC Academic Honor Roll includes the sports of cross country, football, soccer and volleyball, and is based on grades from the 2021 spring, summer and fall terms.

Twenty-six football student-athletes, 20 soccer student-athletes, 12 volleyball student-athletes and seven cross country student-athletes represent MSU on the fall honor roll.

Volleyball's 12 honorees are a program record and is the second most for the sport in the SEC, while soccer's 20 honorees is tied third-most for the sport.

The Bulldog student-athletes achieved a department grade-point average of 3.1, which is the ninth straight semester MSU student-athletes have combined for a GPA of 3.0 or better.

Any student-athlete who participates in an SEC 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.

To earn a place on the honor roll: (1) A 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. (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) Prior to being nominated, a 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. (5) The student-athlete must have been a member of a varsity team for the sport's entire NCAA Championship segment.
