ST. LOUIS – Illinois State offensive linemen Trey Georgie and Garrett Hirsch were among thirty-five student-athletes that highlighted the 2019 Missouri Valley Football Honor Roll, as announced by the league office today. Those 35 student-athletes earned the league's highest academic achievement by capturing the Missouri Valley Football Conference President's Council Academic Excellence Award.
The President's Council Academic Excellence Award requires a minimum 3.5 cumulative grade point average (through Fall 2019 semester) and participation in athletics a minimum of two years. The student-athlete must be scheduled to graduate by the end of the summer of 2020. Also, 192 student-athletes received the league's Commissioner's Academic Excellence Award, which requires a minimum GPA of 3.2 for the previous two semesters (freshmen are not eligible).
In addition, the Missouri Valley Football Conference announced its 2019-20 Honor Roll, which recognizes academic achievement of student-athletes. To qualify for the Honor Roll, a student-athlete must have recorded a minimum 3.0 grade point average for a specified term (Fall 2019), must have been a member of the football team, and must have a minimum of 12 hours of enrollment during the fall.
