Emory University placed 90 student-athletes on the University Athletic Association Fall All-Academic Team which was released Wednesday morning by the league office. 833 student-athletes in total from the eight association schools were recognized on the All-Academic team.
To be named to the UAA Fall All-Academic Team, a student-athlete must complete at least one full year of college study and carry a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.30.
The 3.30 GPA is the same academic standard used as a qualifying threshold by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) for the nomination of Academic All-America candidates in all sports.
The 88 Eagles recognized were spread out over five sports that compete traditionally in the fall with men’s soccer leading the way with 23 selections. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, neither Emory nor the other seven member institutions competed in athletic competition during the fall season.
