Texas A&M Lands 71 on 2025 Fall SEC Academic Honor Roll

BIRMINGHAM – Texas A&M was represented by 71 student-athletes on the 2025 Fall SEC Academic Honor Roll, SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey announced.
 
"The drive our student-athletes show in their academic work is just as impressive as what they bring to competition," Texas A&M Director of Athletics Trev Alberts said. "Their focus and discipline in the classroom represent an important milestone on the path to graduation. I appreciate the effort they've invested and the outstanding support from our staff. Congratulations to all who earned recognition on the Fall SEC Academic Honor Roll."
 
Added Dr. Dan Childs, who oversees Texas A&M's Center of Student-Athlete Services, "We extend our heartfelt congratulations to every Texas A&M student-athlete named to the 2025 Fall SEC Academic Honor Roll. This achievement reflects a tremendous level of dedication, discipline, and perseverance. Balancing the demands of elite competition with academic excellence is no small feat, and our department couldn't be prouder of the commitment each of you showed throughout the fall semester. You continue to embody what it means to be an Aggie—leaders in the classroom, in competition, and in our community. Congratulations on earning this prestigious honor."

The Fall SEC Academic Roll features student-athletes from the men's and women's cross country teams and the football, soccer and volleyball teams.
