GAINESVILLE, Fla. - The University of Florida placed 72 student-athletes on the 2025 Southeastern Conference Winter Academic Honor Roll, announced Wednesday by league commissioner Greg Sankey.
The 2025 SEC Winter Academic Honor Roll is based on grades from the 2024 Spring, Summer and Fall terms.
Five from the NCAA champion men's basketball team earned a spot on the Academic Honor Roll. Women's basketball six is one away from the program record reached for the fourth time in 2023.
Florida's men's and women's swimming & diving programs placed 25 and 22, respectively on the list.
A program record 14 gymnasts appear on the 2025 SEC Academic Honor Roll to equal the 2025 high for league gymnastics teams. For the fifth time in the last six seasons, all gymnasts eligible earn a SEC Academic Honor Roll spot.
More Gators Academic Honor Roll notes:
* Four turned in 4.0 grade point averages - gymnast Kayla DiCello, diver Casey Greenberg and swimmers Caroline Pennington and Summer Smith.
* Will Richard was named to the 2025 NCAA Final Four all-tournament team. He is the first SEC player to earn NCAA Final Four all-tournament team honors and appear on the SEC Academic Honor Roll since Florida's Corey Brewer, Lee Humphrey and Al Horford in 2007.
* Bennett Andersen is the first UF male athlete - and fourth Gator overall - to claim the NCAA Elite 90 Award given to the student-athlete with the top grade point average at the national championship. The senior graduated in 2024 with a 3.98 GPA in Industrial and Systems Engineering and is currently pursuing a master's in Management.
* Josh Liendo won two NCAA individual titles and was part of UF's winning 400 medley relay in 2025. He is the 2024 Olympic 100-meter butterfly silver medalist. Liendo is also part of the College Sports Communicators Academic All-America first team announced earlier today.
* Julian Smith joined Liendo on Florida's NCAA champion 400-medley relay and won the 100 breaststroke title.
* Brianna Edwards receives a $10,000 post-graduate scholarship as a nominee for the SEC's Boyd McWhorter Scholar-Athlete Post-Graduate Scholarship, which she'll put to use this summer when she begins studies at UF's Medical School.
To be recognized to the SEC Academic Honor Roll, each student-athlete must 1) have a GPA of 3.00 for either the preceding academic year or have a cumulative GPA of 3.00 or above at the nominating institution; 2) be on scholarship, a letterwinner or have participated on a varsity team for two years if non-scholarship; 3) have completed 24 semester hours of non-remedial credit at the nominating institution; and 4) have been a member of the varsity team for the sport's entire NCAA Championship segment.
