Wednesday, January 27, 2016 | General, Otis Hawkins Center
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Fifty-eight University of Florida student-athletes were named to the 2015 Southeastern Conference Fall Academic Honor Roll on Wednesday by league commissioner Greg Sankey.
The Gator soccer team, which swept the SEC regular-season and tournament titles, placed 14 on the list. Three were also honored in December as National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) Scholar All-Americans – Claire Falknor, Savannah Jordan and Christen Westphal. In addition, Jordan and fellow junior Betsy Middleton were named 2015 College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) Academic All-Americans.
The SEC East champion Florida football team saw 22 players named to the list. Nine from the Gator volleyball team which reached the NCAA Elite Eight earned Academic All-SEC recognition. In addition, seven men and six women from Florida's cross country teams were named to the academic honor roll.
Two on the list turned in 4.0 grade point averages for the year – Jonathan Hulzebos of the cross country team and soccer's Middleton.
The 2015 Fall SEC Academic Honor Roll is based on grades from the 2015 Spring, Summer and Fall terms.
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 should 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., letterwinner), 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.
