Five football players from LSU were recently named to the 2020-21 First-Year SEC Academic Honor Roll. Those players were Jacobian Guillory, Dwight McGlothern, Koy Moore, Liam Shanahan, and Josh White.
The First-Year SEC Academic Honor Roll is based on grades from the 2020-21 academic year. All student-athletes in the SEC who participate in a championship sport are eligible for nomination to the award.
In order to be honored with this recognition, the 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.
Also, student-athletes attending summer school must have their summer school GPA included in the previous semester in order to be named to this list.

Only varsity athletes who have completed 24 semesters or 36 quarter hours of non-remedial academic credit toward a baccalaureate degree at the nominating institution can be nominated for the award.
A total of 1,130 student-athletes from the 14 league schools made the first-year Academic Honor Roll.
One freshman (Jacobian Guillory), three sophomores (Dwight McGlothern, Koy Moore, and Josh White), and one senior (Liam Shanahan) made the list.
This is an admirable achievement for all five football players, especially considering the difficulty of the degree each athlete is pursuing.
