Monday, January 28, 2008 | Football
The University of Florida football team had 25 members named to the 2007 Southeastern Conference Fall Academic Honor Roll as announced by the league office. UF's 25 continued an upward trend as the total has increased each year under head coach Urban Meyer.
Florida's total included 12 players who had earned the honor in a previous season: (Andrew Fritze, Brad Hiers, Joey Ijjas, Eddie Haupt, Andrew Johnson, Bobby Kane, Markus Manson, Kestahn Moore, Jonathan Phillips, James Smith, Ryan Stamper, Phil Trautwein)
The 2007-08 SEC Fall Academic Honor Roll is based on grades from the 2007 Spring, Summer and Fall terms.
A student-athlete must have a grade point average of 3.00 or above for either the preceding academic year (two semesters or three quarters) or have a cumulative grade point average of 3.00 or above at the nominating institution. If a student-athlete attends summer school, his/her grade point average during the summer academic term must be included in the calculation used to determine eligibility for the Academic Honor Roll. Student-athletes eligible for the Honor Roll include those receiving an athletics scholarship, recipients of an athletics award (i.e., letter winner), and non-scholarship student-athletes who have been on a varsity team for two seasons. Prior to being nominated, a student-athlete must have successfully completed 24 semester or 36 quarter hours of non-remedial academic credit toward a baccalaureate degree at the nominating institution. The student-athlete must have been a member of a varsity team for the sport's entire NCAA Championship segment.
