HATTIESBURG, Miss. -- Southern Miss was one of eight Sun Belt Conference schools recognized for its graduation rates at the league's Honors Banquet Tuesday night as part of its annual Fall Meetings in Atlanta.
Southern Miss was recognized with the Student-Athlete Graduation Success Rate Award, bestowed upon any member institution that has a single-year graduation success rate at or above 90 percent for student-athletes as published in the NCAA Division I Graduation Rate Award report.Â
"Our student-athletes' graduation rates give us something to truly brag about at Southern Miss," said Kylie Hall, Southern Miss Associate Athletic Director for Academic Support Services. "Behind every graduate are hours of hard work, sacrifice, and determination, along with the support of coaches, faculty, and academic staff. We're proud to celebrate their success in competition—and even prouder to see them walk across that graduation stage."
The award winners were all recognized for the 2025-26 season.
