MONTGOMERY – Earning a degree is first and foremost with the Middle Tennessee football program as evidenced by a 96% graduation rate under Head Coach Rick Stockstill. Therefore, celebrating these accomplishments is a high priority as well.
The Blue Raiders also own the second-best APR in Conference USA with a 983 score and just one point behind Rice's 984. The team was also recently recognized as one of just seven teams nationally to receive the AFCA Academic Achievement award.
With the University's graduation set for Saturday and the Blue Raiders' bowl game the same day, a special ceremony for five football student-athletes was held in the team meeting room this morning in Montgomery at the Embassy Suites Hotel.
