OXFORD, Miss. — Forty-one Ole Miss student-athletes were among 655 named to the 2013 Fall Southeastern Conference Academic Honor Roll, announced Thursday by SEC Commissioner Mike Slive.  The Rebels’ honorees include 24 from football, 14 from soccer and 3 from volleyball.

Football boasts several multiple-time honorees including Tyler Campbell, Andrew Ritter, and D.T. Shackelford, who earned the honor for the fifth consecutive year.  All three helped lead the Rebels to an 8-5 overall record and the team’s second straight bowl victory (Music City) under head coach Hugh Freeze.

Soccer had an outstanding year on and off the pitch.  Fourteen of the 15 players eligible for the SEC Fall Honor Roll made the list, including the SEC Scholar-Athlete of the Year, Rafaelle Souza, and four-time honoree Erin Emerson.  They helped lead the Rebels to one of the most successful seasons in program history, including a 16-6-2 record and a second-round appearance in the NCAA Tournament.

Volleyball was led by three-time honorees Rachael McLamore and Skylar Johnson.The 2013 Fall SEC Academic Honor Roll is based on grades from the 2013 Spring, Summer and Fall terms.
