Five members of the Texas A&M baseball team were named to the Academic All-Big 12 teams, the league office announced Tuesday.
Sophomores Tyler Dyer and Clayton Ehlert and junior Barret Loux earned second-team accolades. Loux made the team for the second consecutive year, while Dyler, Ehlert, Stripling and Uriegas are first-time honorees.
Nominated by each institution's director of student-athlete support services and the media relations offices, the baseball academic all-league squad consisted of 43 first team members combined with 26 on the second team. First team members consist of those who have maintained a 3.20 or better GPA, and the second team are those who have a 3.00 to 3.19 GPA.
To qualify student-athletes must maintain a 3.00 GPA or higher either cumulative or the two previous semesters. All position players nominated must have participated in 60 percent of their team's scheduled contests, while pitchers are required to have at least one inning pitched per game played by the team or have appeared in 20 percent of their team's total games. Freshmen and transfers are not eligible in their first year of academic residence. Senior student-athletes who have participated for a minimum of two years and meet all the criteria except percent of participation are also eligible.
