Kentucky Athletics Places 116 on SEC Spring Academic Honor Roll – UK Athletics

LEXINGTON, Ky. – The University of Kentucky Athletics Department placed 116 student-athletes on the 2025 Southeastern Conference Spring Honor Roll, SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey announced Thursday afternoon.

The 2025 Spring Academic Honor Roll represents the sports of baseball, men’s golf, women’s golf, softball, STUNT, men’s tennis, women’s tennis, men’s track and field and women’s track and field. All numbers are based on academic grade point averages of the 2025 spring semester, which aligns with the sports competition season.

STUNT led the way for the Wildcats with 40 of its players earning a spot on the list, followed by 20 for women’s track and field and both baseball and men’s track and field having 15 of its players and runners on the spring list for 2025.

Among other qualifications, a student-athlete must have a 3.0 grade-point average for the preceding academic year or a cumulative 3.0 GPA 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.

In addition to academic success, Kentucky teams also excelled on the fields and courts of competition in the spring. The men’s track and field team finished eighth nationally, a new program best finish in NCAA competition. The baseball and softball teams both made NCAA Regionals for the fourth-straight year and 16th-straight year, respectively. STUNT made it to the national championship match and the men’s tennis team advanced to the second round of the 2025 NCAA Championship.

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.
