“We are proud of the Razorback student-athletes who have earned their place onto the SEC Fall Academic Honor Roll,” Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics Jeff Long said. “Our academic achievements continue to reflect positively on our program and the University of Arkansas. This past fall, we had nearly 100 student-athletes post their personal best GPA and our commitment to achieving our goals in the classroom is at the very core of our mission.”
