BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — One thousand one hundred sixty-three student-athletes across five sports were named to the Fall 2022 Gulf South Conference Academic Honor Roll, as announced by the office. The sports honored included men's cross country, women's cross country, football, men's soccer, women's soccer, and volleyball.
To achieve honor roll status, a student-athlete must have a grade point average of 3.00 or better and have competed in outside competition at the time the award was announced.
The GSC also announced its All-Academic teams for the five fall sports.
In order to be named to the GSC All-Academic team, nominees must have a cumulative GPA of 3.20 or better their entire academic career at their institution and may not be a freshmen or first-term transfer. The student-athlete must also be a significant contributor to the team. Other factors include leadership, community service and extracurricular activities. Institutions are not allowed to vote for their own student-athletes. The number of student-athletes selected in each sport is determined by the number of positions normally involved in the playing of that sport. Ties are not broken.
