NEW ORLEANS — Georgia Southern had 226 student-athletes honored by the Sun Belt Conference for their work in the classroom with the yearly release of the Academic Commissioner's List and Honor Roll on Friday by the league. It's the second-highest number of honorees for the Eagles since joining the Sun Belt in 2014.
The 226 total student-athletes includes 135 named to the Commissioner's List and 91 to the Honor Roll. In addition, eight student-athletes earned the 1A FAR Academic Excellence Award.
Swimming & diving had largest number of Eagle student-athletes on the SBC Commissioner's List with 20, followed next by baseball with 16. Football had the most student-athletes on the SBC Honor Roll with 24.
The Commissioner's List honors student-athletes who maintained a 3.5 grade point average (GPA) or better during the academic year while the Academic Honor Roll honors those student-athletes who maintained a GPA between 3.00 and 3.49 for the academic year. The 1A FAR Academic Excellence Award recognizes student-athletes at FBS football-sponsoring institutions who earned their undergraduate degrees between Sept. 1, 2024 and Aug. 31, 2025 and compiled a cumulative grade point average of 3.80 or better upon graduation. In addition, the student-athletes must have participated in at least two years of NCAA intercollegiate athletics at an FBS institution.
Below is listed all of the Georgia Southern honorees for 2024-25, and a list of total honorees since the school joined the league in 2013-14.
