All of the student-athletes named exemplify what it means to be a student-athlete at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and should be proud of their accomplishments both on the football field and in the classroom. The school takes great pride in having their student-athletes also perform outstandingly on a scholastic level.

This is an accomplishment that the school takes pride in and a trend that new head football coach Dan Mullen will look to continue as the leader of the Rebels program. Breaking the school record proves this was an incredible group that suited up for the Scarlet and Gray last season. They will look to build off this superb culture and hopefully break the record again in the near future.
