OKLAHOMA CITY -- John Brown University announced its SAC Commissioner's Honor Roll honorees Wednesday (July 27) morning, with a record 124 Golden Eagle student-athletes earning the distinction for their work in the classroom during the 2021-22 academic year.
The Sooner Athletics' Commissioner's Honor Roll is awarded to student-athletes who record a grade-point average of 3.0 or higher during the previous academic year over both semesters.
John Brown's 124 Honor Roll selections marks the third straight year with at least 100 making the cut, with this year's record total coming after the previous high of 122 in 2020-21.
"I am so proud of our student-athletes and their commitment to excellence in the classroom," said Robyn Daugherty, Director of Athletics. "In a world where athletic performance overshadows academic achievement, it is exciting to me to see over 77 percent of our student-athletes at a 3.0 or higher, especially at an institution where academics are very challenging."
Of the honorees, a record 16 student-athletes recorded a perfect 4.0 GPA this academic year, while an incredible 32 student-athletes finished the year with at least a 3.9 GPA.
