Gophers football academics
Last year, the Gophers football team matched its highest marks ever for multiyear Academic Progress Rates at 992, which ranked ninth in the country and third in the Big Ten behind Northwestern and Michigan, and there’s a decent chance the team will top it this year, coach P.J. Fleck said.
“We had the best GPA ever in the history of Gophers football after a fall semester, so very proud of our players,” Fleck said. “This was the first true morning practice system they had during the fall, with a first-year head coach, a ton of change, a ton of adjustments.
“You’ve got to give [associate academic director and director of football] Jacki [Lienesch] and [academic counselor] Robert [Day] and [academic director] J.T. [Bruett] a ton of credit in our academic field and department but also our coaches and players who invest in being true student athletes.”
The Gophers football team was led in academics by kicker Emmit Carpenter and long snapper Payton Jordahl, who both earned academic all-district honors in November. Carpenter had a 3.54 grade-point average and Jordahl finished with a 3.71 GPA.
