"I am incredibly proud of these young men and women for the commitment that they made to not only the field of play, but to the classroom while at A&M. Our future is in great hands with this group and all that are to follow."

Their accomplishment demonstrates the partnership between academics and athletics and our collective commitment to excellence.
