CodeRocket 410 Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 The 2020 Fall SEC Academic Honor Roll is based on grades from the 2020 spring, summer, and fall terms. Football Zion Puckett - Mechanical Engineering Jacob Quattlebaum - Electrical Engineering Malcolm Russell - Civil and Environmental Engineering Clarke Smith - Master of Engineering Barrett Tindall - Civil and Environmental Engineering Jacob VonEschenbach - Industrial and Systems Engineering Brooks Walton - Aerospace Engineering Amazing these young men were able to accomplish this while being members of the football team and all the demands that places on them. I think it demonstrates intelligence, dedication, and discipline. Source: Auburn Engineer Magazine - Spring 2021 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
countoff 331 Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 (edited) These guys have a better understanding of the true value of their scholarships and are making good use of it. This is the mature way to "Promote their brand." Similar to baseball and hockey, there should be a football minor league where young high school athletes with no interest in school can "roll the dice" that their NFL audition is successful while getting paid and "promoting their brand". College football should be where young athletes can audition for the NFL while making use of a valuable scholarship to learn a profession in the likely event they do not make it to the NFL (due to lack of size/talent or injury).

Good to see some guys going after the hard stuff Student Athlete Graduation rate at Auburn is 80% where total Student Graduation rate is 74% this is in 2016 which is latest statistical analyses I could find. I realize this does not break down Football team graduation rate as I couldn't find anything recent on that. https://auburntigers.com/index.aspx https://www.collegefactual.com/colleges/auburn-university/academic-life/graduation-and-retention/ Edited June 25, 2021 by AuburnNTexas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
