BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Following an 11^th consecutive semester with a department GPA of 3.0 or higher, Mississippi State placed 71 current and former student-athletes on the 2022 Fall SEC Academic Honor Roll on Thursday.

Announced by SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey, the 2022 Fall SEC Academic Honor Roll featured 1,154 student-athletes across the sports of cross country, football, soccer and volleyball. The achievement is based on grades from the 2022 Spring, Summer and Fall terms.

After earning its third-highest fall semester GPA on record in 2022, football placed 31 Bulldogs on the 2022 Fall SEC Academic Honor Roll. Starters Jaden Crumedy, Collin Duncan, Emmanuel Forbes, Jalen Green, Lideatrick Griffin, Jo'quavious Marks, Cole Smith, Nathaniel Watson and Austin Williams were among the honorees. This past fall, Williams picked up his third first-team Academic All-America honor and was named a finalist for the prestigious William V. Campbell Trophy by the National Football Foundation.

MSU soccer turned in the second-most honor roll members among SEC soccer programs with 23.
Maddy Anderson, a first-team Academic All-American last fall, earned a spot on the list. Alyssa D'Aloise, Macey Hodge and Gwen Mummert also were among the honorees. The trio previously garnered Academic All-District accolades. The program earned the second-highest women's team GPA on campus last fall.

Additionally, 10 volleyball student-athletes and seven cross country student-athletes represented MSU on the honor roll.
