“I’m extremely proud of our Texas A&M student-athletes and Athletics Department as we continue to prioritize excellence in the classroom,” Senior Associate Athletics Director of Student-Athlete Services Joe Fields said. “Our student-athletes are asked to compete at the highest levels athletically and academically. Our Winter Academic Honor Roll recipients demonstrate that our student-athletes are committed to meeting those standard.”
