BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (Jan. 21, 2021) —– A total of 360 current and former Southeastern Conference student-athletes graduated from their respective universities during the month of December.

December graduates who have not exhausted their eligibility will wear the SEC Graduation Patch in competition beginning immediately.
