Florida Gators honored on SEC Honor Roll

Jeremy Foley prides his athletic program on being well balanced. On Wednesday, 52 student-athletes, including 28 football players, were named to the SEC Fall Academic Honor Roll.

The 2014 Fall Academic Roll is based on grades from the 2014 spring, summer and fall semesters and any student that participates in a sport is eligible for the award.

The requirements are that the student-athlete must, 1) Maintain a 3.00 or above grade point average for either the preceding year or a cumulative 3.00 GPA at their institution. 2) If a student attends summer classes those classes must be included into the GPA. 3) Student-athletes eligible for the Honor Roll include those receiving an athletics scholarship, recipients of an athletics award (i.e., letterwinner), and non-scholarship student-athletes who have been on a varsity team for two seasons. (4) Prior to being nominated, a student-athlete must have successfully completed 24 semester or 36 quarter hours of non-remedial academic credit toward a baccalaureate degree at the nominating institution. (5) The student-athlete must have been a member of a varsity team for the sport’s entire NCAA Championship segment.

Nick de la Torre
A South Florida native, Nick developed a passion for all things sports at a very young age. His love for baseball was solidified when he saw Al Leiter’s no-hitter for the Marlins live in May of 1996. He was able to play baseball in college but quickly realized there isn’t much of a market for short, slow outfielders that hit around the Mendoza line. Wanting to continue with sports in some capacity he studied journalism at the University of Central Florida. Nick got his first start in the business as an intern for a website covering all things related to the NFL draft before spending two seasons covering the Florida football team at Bleacher Report. That job led him to GatorCountry. When he isn’t covering Gator sports, Nick enjoys hitting way too many shots on the golf course, attempting to keep up with his favorite t.v. shows and watching the Heat, Dolphins and Marlins.
