LOGAN, Utah – Despite all the challenges caused by a worldwide pandemic the past year, Utah State student-athletes persevered in the classroom as the Aggies earned a combined grade point average of 3.36 last fall, tying the all-time high set in the spring of 2020.

During the 2020 fall semester, 72 student-athletes earned perfect grades, while 76.1 percent had a 3.0 GPA or higher. Furthermore, 82 student-athletes were named to the Dean’s List, an academic honor roll recognizing students who have achieved at least a 3.50 GPA in 15 or more graded credits. In all, 13 student-athletes competed in their sport, or would have due to COVID-19, while enrolled in graduate school courses.

The fall semester also marked the highest cumulative GPA for female student-athletes in USU history at 3.52, passing the previous best of 3.49. And Utah State’s football program earned a 3.0 or higher cumulative GPA at 3.05 for just the second time ever last fall.
