The over 400 student-athletes who make up the Georgia Southern Athletics Department earned a 3.08 GPA for the 2021-2022 academic year, as announced Monday by director of athletics Jared Benko. This mark ties the mark set in 2019-20.
For the academic year, women's soccer posted the highest team GPA for the department with a 3.65 and men's tennis had the highest team GPA on the men's side with a 3.43.
On the team level, the rifle team posted the highest GPA of all teams for the spring 2022 semester with a 3.71. The men's tennis team posted the highest GPA of all men's programs with 3.65 for the spring semester.

"I am very proud of our student-athletes' excellent performance in the classroom, not only for this spring semester, but for the 2021-22 academic year," Benko said. "Our student-athletes' hard work toward reaching their full potential academically is also consistent on their fields of play as we continue to have record success. I also want to recognize Reggie Simpkins and his Student-Athlete Services staff for their leadership and dedication toward positioning our student-athletes for success."
