BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Ole Miss had 16 student-athletes earn a place on the SEC Winter Academic Honor Roll, which was announced by SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey on Wednesday.
A total of 861 student-athletes from the 16 member schools of the SEC were honored in the winter list released today, which covers the sports of basketball, equestrian, gymnastics, rifle, and swimming & diving. For Ole Miss, those 16 student-athletes include those who were part of the competition roster during the 2024-25 winter season.
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) 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.
