For the fourth year in a row, Ohio State leads the Big Ten in student-athletes who have achieved at the highest level in the classroom.
131 Ohio State student-athletes – the most in school history, surpassing the previous record of 129 set last year – were named Tuesday as Big Ten Distinguished Scholars for the 2018-19 academic year, more than any other school in the conference.
The Big Ten Distinguished Scholars honors student-athletes from each of the conference's 14 member schools who earned Academic All-Big Ten recognition the previous year, have been enrolled full-time at the institution for at least a full year and earned a grade-point average of 3.
