BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — The University of Tennessee placed 97 student-athletes on the 2021-22 First-Year Southeastern Conference Academic Honor Roll that was announced Thursday by SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey.
That total was the most UT has ever had on the First-Year SEC Academic Honor Roll. It marked an improvement of seven over the 90 who made the list in 2020-21.
Furthermore, those numbers raised Tennessee’s total number of student-athletes recognized in 2021-22 to a program-record 372 combined on the Fall, Winter, Spring and First-Year SEC Academic Honor Rolls. That’s an improvement of 14 over last year and marks the seventh-consecutive year that Tennessee has seen an increased total number of student-athletes on SEC Honor Rolls.
The sum of 372 honorees translates to 68 percent of UT’s student-athletes being on SEC Academic Honor Rolls during the past academic year and also equates to improvement of 98.9 percent from the 187 who received honors in 2014-15.
