BRENTWOOD, Tenn. – On Monday it was announced that a record 1,792 student-athletes have been named to the Ohio Valley Conference's Commissioner's Honor Roll for the 2024-25 academic year.

The 1,792 honorees broke the previous record of 1,718 set during the 2020-21 academic year.

To be listed, recipients must have achieved at least a 3.25 grade point average, have been eligible and on the team throughout the competitive season in their chosen NCAA-sponsored sport(s) and used a season of competition.

Those numbers included 89 student-athletes who compete in non-OVC championship sports that do not compete in another conference (i.e. Southeast Missouri gymnastics, UT Martin equestrian) and 204 student-athletes who were recipients in multiple sports (and counted just once in the final total).

Lindenwood had the most selections to the Commissioner's Honor Roll (224) and were followed by Southeast Missouri (202) and Eastern Illinois (190). The sport of baseball had the most honorees league-wide (213), women's track and field (207) and softball (175).

Over the past 10 years the OVC has honored over 14,800 student-athletes with the Commissioner's Honor Roll award.

On Friday the League announced that 349 student-athletes earned the OVC Academic Medal of Honor for having perfect 4.0 grade point averages last academic year. The OVC will announce the winner of the Academic Achievement Award and Team Academic Achievement Awards on Tuesday.
