Student-athletes at Florida State University earned their highest ever collective GPA during the Fall 2025 semester.

FSU’s Student Athlete Academic Services (SAAS) reported that the Fall 2025 GPA among student-athletes was a 3.33, setting a record for any single fall or spring semester. Student-athletes also broke a record for overall cumulative GPA at 3.36.

“We’re so proud to celebrate our student-athletes for their accomplishments in the classroom” said Miguel Negron, director of SAAS, associate athletics director and assistant dean of Undergraduate Studies. “FSU supports student-athletes academically with crucial resources and guidance to address the unique challenges of succeeding in college while competing at the highest levels in a sport.”

Among FSU’s 471 student-athletes enrolled in Fall 2025, 76% achieved a 3.0 GPA or higher. One hundred forty-four earned a spot on the Dean’s List, which recognizes those who earn a 3.5 or higher for the semester. Thirty-one student-athletes landed on the President’s List, which recognizes those who achieve a perfect 4.0 semester GPA.

Of the women’s teams, golf recorded the highest overall semester GPA at a 3.75. Among men’s teams, tennis scored the highest GPA for the semester: 3.53.

Six teams recorded their highest ever fall or spring semester GPAs: baseball, men’s golf, women’s lacrosse, softball, men’s tennis, and men’s track and field.

 

At SAAS, student-athletes have access to specialized academic advisers, learning specialists, tutoring, study halls, and a dedicated computer lab and academic center.

“We could not achieve these new records among student-athletes without our amazing SAAS team,” said DeOnte Brown, dean of Undergraduate Studies. “I’m so grateful to the tutors, advisers, learning specialists and other support staff, along with their visionary leadership, who work daily to ensure that FSU students who participate in athletics can also thrive in the classroom.”
