BIRMINGHAM – Highlighted by a collective departmental 3.36 GPA, UAB student-athletes once again excelled in the classroom during the Spring 2025 semester.
"We are unbelievably proud of our student-athletes and their academic achievements this spring," said A'dja Jones, Associate Athletic Director for Academics and Student-Athlete Support Services. "At UAB, the pursuit of excellence is something we pride ourselves on. Our students are competing, getting into the community to serve, leading campus organizations and programs, and still raising the bar academically. I would like to give a shout-out to our academic staff who work tirelessly to support and guide our student-athletes and our campus partners for their dedication as well. I am excited to see what new heights our students reach in future semesters."
In what has become a pillar of excellence for UAB student-athletes, 14 of 17 teams earned a 3.2 GPA or better, which was led by UAB men's tennis who had the highest overall GPA of 3.91, followed by UAB beach volleyball who had the highest female team GPA of 3.79.
Individually, 97 student-athletes (26 percent) earned a perfect 4.0 Spring GPA, while 105 Blazers (28 percent) were above a 3.5 and 288 (77 percent) were above a 3.0.
Additionally, another pillar of giving back to the community was on full display as UAB Athletics served 1,417 hours of community service in the spring semester alone which equated to $49,317 of economic impact.
