LEXINGTON, Ky. — The University of Kentucky placed 124 student-athletes on the 2026 Southeastern Conference Spring Academic Honor Roll, announced Tuesday by SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey.

The honor roll includes nine sports competing during the spring: baseball, men's golf, women's golf, softball, STUNT, men's tennis, women's tennis, men's track and field and women's track and field. Eligibility is based on academic performance from the 2025 Summer, 2025 Fall and 2026 Spring terms.

UK's STUNT team led all sports with 47 selections, reflecting the strong academic performance of the rapidly growing women's sport that transforms traditional cheerleading skills into a competitive head-to-head format. Women's track and field contributed 20 honorees, while baseball provided 16.

To earn honor roll recognition, a student-athlete must maintain a cumulative grade-point average of 3.0 or above. All 23 varsity programs in UK's athletics department achieved a team GPA of 3.0 or higher this spring, continuing a streak of academic excellence at the program.

"UK Athletics supports the academic success of its student-athletes through CATS — the first academic center of its kind dedicated solely to serving student-athletes," according to a press release from the athletics department. CATS, or the Center for Academic and Tutorial Services, provides comprehensive individualized academic support spanning 25,000 square feet of space with dedicated tutors, mentors and study facilities.

Kentucky has surpassed its goal of a 3.0 cumulative GPA for 28 consecutive semesters, underscoring the department's long-standing commitment to student-athlete academic achievement. The university emphasized that CATS is a key component of its Student-Athlete Experience division, designed to prepare student-athletes for success beyond their athletic careers.

The 124 selections ranked Kentucky competitively among SEC peers, with Tennessee leading the conference with 139 honorees on the spring roll announced the same day.
