CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – Austin Peay State University's student-athletes posted the second-highest grade-point average in department history and the highest in a fall semester with a 3.419 grade-point average during the Fall 2025 semester.
"Congratulations to all our student-athletes for having the best fall academically we have had at Austin Peay," said Assistant Director of Athletics for Academic Services Bobby Fieman. "Our student-athletes continue to set the standard in the classroom and I'm incredibly proud of this accomplishment. It is their hard work and dedication that makes it truly a great time to be Gov."
"I could not be more proud of the work that our student-athletes accomplished in the classroom this semester," said Interim Director of Athletics Jordan Harmon. "Academic excellence remains a cornerstone of Austin Peay Athletics. This record-breaking fall semester reflects the dedication of our student-athletes and is a testament to their commitment in the classroom. It is also made possible by the daily support and leadership of our coaches, who consistently emphasize the importance of success beyond competition. This accomplishment further speaks to the hard work of Bobby Fieman, Kristal McGreggor, and Abigail Purches of our student-athlete success team and their unwavering support of our athletes."
It is the 17th-consecutive semester the APSU athletics department has posted a 3.0 GPA or better and the 20th time in department history. All 15 Austin Peay varsity programs recorded at least a 3.0 GPA or better for the third-straight semester.
Austin Peay also had 12 teams finish with a 3.5-or-better team GPA, with two teams posting program record GPAs. The Governors women's golf team led all programs for the second-straight semester with a 3.887 GPA.
More than 80 percent of the department's student-athletes received academic recognition. Eighty-eight of its 338 student-athletes posted a 4.0 GPA during the fall and were a part of the 171 student-athletes eligible for Austin Peay's Dean's List recognition, which the university will announce at a later date. Another 117 Governors were named to the Athletic Director's Honor Roll, which is awarded to graduate students with a 3.0 GPA and undergraduate student-athletes who finish a semester with a 3.0 GPA but do not qualify for the APSU Dean's List.
A complete listing of the Fall 2025 Athletics Director's Honor Roll follows this release. Individuals eligible for the Austin Peay Dean's List are also noted.
Established in 1990-91, the Athletics Director's Honor Roll recognizes the outstanding academic accomplishments of Austin Peay State University student-athletes. Student-athletes must be enrolled full-time and achieve a 3.0 grade-point average for a semester to earn recognition.
