For the 2024-25 Academic Year, Polk State College student-athletes achieved All-Conference and All-FCSAA honors. Polk State’s athletes, however, are also recognized for their work in the classroom.

This year’s FCSAA All-Academic Team consists of 39 student-athletes from Polk State – a 30% increase from last year when 30 athletes received the distinction. This marks the third straight academic year that at least 30 Polk State athletes have been recognized as FCSAA All-Academic selections. Each of the College’s five teams were represented.

To qualify, a student-athlete must have been an active member of a team for the entire season and must have a cumulative grade-point average (GPA) of at least 3.3 through accumulation of all credits over multiple academic years, or accumulation of credits for the current academic year.
