With another successful athletics season in the rearview mirror, more academic honors keep coming for Ole Miss student-athletes, as 76 Rebels were named to the 2015 Spring SEC Academic Honor Roll announced by SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey, Tuesday.

A total of 1,191 student-athletes were named to the 2015 Spring SEC Academic Honor Roll. The 2015 Spring SEC Academic Honor Roll is based on grades from the 2014 summer, 2014 fall and 2015 spring terms.

While earning their 13th postseason appearance under head coach Mike Bianco, 14 members of the diamond Rebels made the SEC Academic Honor Roll, including three-time honoree Scott Weathersby, who graduated last month, was drafted and signed with the Houston Astros.

Men’s and women’s track and field combined for 31 on the honor roll, including three-time honoree Jonathan Redding, who graduated last month with a perfect 4.0 grade point average in his Ole Miss career.

Women’s tennis placed six of seven eligible student-athletes on the honor roll, including three-time honorees and graduates Julia Jones, Erin Stephens and Iris Verboven. Men’s tennis had four make the honor roll, including three-time honoree William Kallberg, who posted a perfect 4.0 GPA.

Nine softball players made the honor roll, including three-time honorees Allison Brown and Lauren Lindsey.

Men’s golf placed six on the list, including Academic All-American and SEC Men’s Golf Scholar-Athlete of the Year, Forrest Gamble, who owns a perfect 4.0 GPA in physics and plans to attend medical school after graduation.  Women’s golf also had six make the honor roll, led by Taylor Medalist Stani Schiavone.

The following criteria must be met to be named to the SEC Academic Honor Roll: (1) 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. (2) 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. (3) 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. (4) 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. (5) The student-athlete must have been a member of a varsity team for the sport’s entire NCAA Championship segment.
