The SEC announced their 2022 Fall Academic Honor Roll on Thursday, with the Florida Gators football team setting a conference record. Of the Orange and Blue’s 113 student-athletes that received Academic Honor Roll distinctions, 62 were football players, breaking the previous conference record of 55 players set back in 2020.
The 2022 SEC Fall Academic Honor Roll is based on grades from the 2022 spring, summer, and fall terms. Of the 62, 27 student-athletes earned a grade point average of 3.4 or higher, with [autotag]Noah Keeter[/autotag] and [autotag]Marco Ortiz[/autotag] recording a 4.0. Thirty-three of the players named received the honor for at least the second time.
Here are the criteria needed to be named to the SEC Academic Honor Role:
(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.
Popular players to be named to the list includes [autotag]O’Cryus Torrence[/autotag], [autotag]Anthony Richardson[/autotag], and [autotag]Jason Marshall Jr[/autotag]., among others. The record is in line with the university’s recent marketing of being a top ten public institution in the country, along with having a top ten athletic program in the country.
