NORFOLK, Va. – A total of 84 Norfolk State student-athletes were named to the 2020 MEAC Commissioner's All-Academic Team, as the conference office announced its entire all-academic list for the year on Thursday.
To be eligible for the MEAC All-Academic Team, a student-athlete must be a sophomore or higher in their athletic standing and have a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or better. The all-academic team includes the spring 2019 and fall 2019 semesters.
NSU's total is an increase of 18 student-athletes from the previous year, and the sixth time in the last seven years that the department had at least 80 named to the MEAC All-Academic Team.
"I am elated to congratulate the 1,088 student-athletes who have maintained a 3.0 or better grade point average during this academic year," Commissioner Dennis E. Thomas said. "I would like to commend the administrators, athletic academic support personnel, coaches and parents for their contributions to the academic success of these student-athletes. Thanks to GEICO for investing in recognizing the academic excellence of our student-athletes."
