LEXINGTON, Ky. – Student-athletes in their first year at the University of Kentucky combined to earn a total of 101 spots on the 2020-21 Southeastern Conference First-Year Academic Honor Roll, the third-highest number in the league, the SEC Office announced Tuesday. 

Kentucky had three teams finish among the top three in the SEC in their sports.

The First-Year Academic Honor Roll is based on grades from the 2020 summer and fall terms, along with the 2021 spring term. Among other qualifications, a student-athlete must have a 3.0 grade-point average for the entire year to earn a place on the honor roll.
