2015-16 Commissioner's List | 2015-16 Academic Honor Roll

NEW ORLEANS - More than 2,000 Sun Belt Conference student-athletes, including 165 Georgia Southern student-athletes, were named to the 2015-16 Commissioner's List and Academic Honor Roll as announced by the league office Tuesday afternoon. The list is comprised of 988 student-athletes on the Commissioner's List and 1,062 student-athletes on the Academic Honor Roll list.

The Commissioner's List honors student-athletes who maintained a 3.5 grade point average or better during the 2015-16 academic year while the Academic Honor Roll honors those student-athletes who maintained a GPA between 3.0 and 3.49 for the academic year.

The Eagles as a group earned a 3.01 GPA for the 2015-2016 academic year, marking the first time in Georgia Southern athletic history that the student-athletes have reached this achievement. This spring, the athletic GPA was 3.04, the second-highest spring GPA in the history of athletics only to follow spring 2015 when a 3.05 GPA was earned.

Two hundred and twenty-seven student-athletes made the Honor Roll this spring, which accounts for 64 percent of the department. Thirty-eight of those student-athletes posted a 4.0 GPA to earn a spot on the President's List, while 82 students made the Dean's List with a GPA of 3.5-3.99.

The Georgia Southern women's basketball and women's tennis teams earned Sun Belt Conference Team GPA Awards from the 2015-16 academic year. The awards, released at the conclusion of the academic year, honor the teams with the top cumulative team grade point average in each of the sponsored sports within the Sun Belt. For award purposes, indoor and outdoor track & field are counted as a single sport. GS women's basketball finished the 2015-16 academic year with a 3.23 team GPA while the Eagles' women's tennis team posted a 3.82 team GPA, which is also the highest GPA for any sport in the Sun Belt for the second-straight year.

Women's Track & Field and Cross Country had the largest number of student-athletes on the SBC Commissioner's List with 141 followed by Women's Soccer which had 138. Football led all sports on the Academic Honor Roll as 262 student-athletes were named to the list. Baseball was second with 134 on the Academic Honor Roll.

Student-athletes who were named to either list will be honored at each sports respective Sun Belt Championship.
