Football Student-Athletes Honored for Graduation Rate
The UConn football team was honored by the American Football Coaches Association Academic Achievement Award program.
The program honors schools with outstanding graduation rates for football student-athletes, with this year’s awards measuring the freshman class of 2008. The Huskies were selected for graduating 75 percent or more of their student-athletes from that freshman class.
In addition to their academic success, the Huskies went from a 2-10 season to a bowl-eligible 6-6 season. They will play in the St. Petersburg Bowl on Dec. 26.
