BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — A total of 339 current and former Southeastern Conference student-athletes graduated from their respective universities during the month of December.

The 339 student-athletes represent each of the SEC’s 21 sponsored sports. In addition, five student-athletes of non-sponsored SEC sports also earned their degrees.

December graduates who have not exhausted their eligibility will wear the SEC Graduation Patch in competition beginning immediately. This marks the sixth year of the SEC Graduate Patch initiative, where the SEC logo patch on graduates’ uniforms is replaced by a special patch with the word “Graduate” underneath the conference logo. During the recently concluded football bowl season, more than 250 student-athletes donned the graduate patch.
