EVANSVILLE, Ind.—University of Southern Indiana student-athletes excelled in the classroom during the 2025-26 academic year. A total of 140 Screaming Eagles earned a 168 Ohio Valley Conference Commissioner's Honor Roll awards, including 28 student-athletes who earned two awards.
 
USI's softball and baseball teams led the Screaming Eagles with the most award winners, with 20 and 19, respectively.
 
There were a total of 1,766 student-athletes named to the OVC Commissioner's Honor Roll in the announcement, which came out Monday afternoon.
 
The total was the second highest of all-time, trailing only the record-breaking tally of 1,792 a year ago (2024-25).

To be listed, recipients must have achieved at least a 3.25 grade point average, have been eligible and on the team throughout the competitive season in their chosen NCAA-sponsored sport(s) and used a season of competition. 

Those numbers included 102 student-athletes who compete in non-OVC championship sports that do not compete in another conference (i.e. Southeast Missouri gymnastics, UT Martin equestrian) and 185 student-athletes who were recipients in multiple sports (and counted just once in the final total).

Over the past 10 years the OVC has honored over 15,000 student-athletes with the Commissioner's Honor Roll award.

On Friday the League announced that a record 369 student-athletes earned the OVC Academic Medal of Honor for having perfect 4.0 grade point averages last academic year. The OVC will announce the winner of the Academic Achievement Award and Team Academic Achievement Awards on Tuesday.
