Kentucky Athletics Rewarded With 168 on SEC First Year Honor Roll
LEXINGTON, Ky. – The University of Kentucky Athletics Department placed 168 student-athletes on the Southeastern Conference’s 2024-25 First Year Honor Roll, SEC commissioner Greg Sankey announced Friday afternoon.
The First-Year SEC Academic Honor Roll is based on grades from the 2024-25 academic calendar and includes any student-athlete who was in its first year at an SEC institution this past year.
Among other qualifications, a student-athlete must have a 3.0 grade-point average to be named to the list. Earlier this year, UK Athletics revealed that the 2025 spring semester marked the department’s 26th consecutive term with a cumulative grade-point average of 3.0 or higher.
UK Athletics supports the academic success of its student-athletes through CATS – the first academic center of its kind dedicated solely to serving student-athletes. CATS is an important component of UK’s Student-Athlete Experience division, launched as a renewal of the department’s commitment to preparing student-athletes for life after UK.
