🔺 Class Act. Building champions for life.

Baylor football is about much more than what happens during their time in Waco. This week, five Bears were honored for their work they put in to succeed beyond the football field.

Clark Barrington, Kyler Jordan, Treven Ma'ae, Brooks Miller and Jake Roberts each garnered recognition thanks to their work in the classroom and on the playing field with Academic All-District honors. Barrington is also eligible for Academic All-America honors, which will be announced in January.

Student-athletes are recognized by CSC members for their combined performances in athletic competition and in the classroom. To be considered, one must accumulate a cumulative GPA above 3.50 with at least a sophomore athletic and academic standing, while being a starter or key reserve for their respective team. In football, student-athletes must have competed in 90 percent of their team's games played or have started at least 66 percent of games.
