CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – Austin Peay State University's student-athletes posted the third-highest grade-point average in department history with a 3.415 grade-point average during the Spring 2026 semester.

It is the 18th consecutive semester the APSU athletics department has posted a 3.0 GPA or better and the 21st time in department history all 15 Austin Peay varsity programs recorded at least a 3.0 GPA or better for the second-straight semester.

"Seeing our student-athletes continue to raise the standard academically is something we take tremendous pride in," said Director of Athletics Jordan Harmon. "Academic success remains at the heart of Austin Peay Athletics, and this outstanding semester is a reflection of the dedication, discipline, and commitment that our student-athletes bring every day. It is also made possible by the support and leadership of our coaches, who emphasize success beyond the field of competition. I also would like thank our student-athlete success team and their unwavering support of our student-athletes."

Their achievements are also a credit to our coaches and support staff, who consistently reinforce the importance of excelling both in competition and in the classroom."

Austin Peay also had nine 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 fourth-straight semester with a 3.975 team-wide GPA – the highest single-semester GPA in department history, topping the previous record of 3.969 which it set last spring.

More than 74 percent of the department's student-athletes received academic recognition. Ninety-five of its 356 student-athletes posted a 4.0 during the spring and were a part of the 160 student-athletes eligible for Austin Peay's Dean's List recognition, which the university will announce at a later date. Another 102 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 Spring 2026 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.
