BATON ROUGE, La. – The Southeastern Conference and Commissioner Greg Sankey announced the 2015 SEC Fall Academic Honor Roll on Wednesday as 56 LSU student-athletes were named to the list.
The selections, made up of members from men’s and women’s cross country, football, soccer and volleyball programs, LSU’s honorees are 10 more than last year and 21 more than in 2013.
The 2015 Texas Bowl Champion Tiger football team led the way with 22 student-athletes honored, coming off of a season where LSU won at least nine games for the sixth time in the last seven seasons. Included in the list were three of LSU’s junior class who will be returning for their senior seasons Christian LaCouture, Ethan Pocic and Tre’Davious White.
In a season where they returned to the NCAA Tournament, the LSU soccer team can add another accolade as the 17 selections is a new program record for the group. It’s three more than the previous program record of 14, which includes Natalia Gomez-Junco who in December was named to the National Soccer Coaches Association Women’s Scholar All-South Region second team.
Headlining the nine members of the cross country representatives is Morgan Schuetz, the LSWA Women’s Runner of the Year and NCAA All-Region honors. The LSU volleyball team rounds out the honorees with eight as All-Louisiana second team pick Gina Tillis and SEC Community Service Team pick Katie Lindelow were among the group.
The 2015 Fall SEC Academic Honor Roll is based on grades from the 2015 Spring, Summer and Fall terms.
