The Stetson University football program was one of five members of the Pioneer Football League to place at least 60 members of the 2019 squad on the annual PFL Academic Honor Roll.

The Hatters set a program record, placing 60 players on the honor roll for the first time. The previous program high was 59 players on the 2013 squad, which was the first year in the return of Stetson football.

Over seven seasons, Stetson has placed a total of 356 players on the PFL Honor Roll, an average of 50.9 per year.

The PFL saw more than 500 student-athletes recognized on its honor roll for a seventh consecutive year. The University of Dayton (85), Drake University (65), Butler University (63) and Davidson College (60) joined with Stetson, with each placing 60 or more student-athletes on the honor roll. In addition, Dayton, Drake and Stetson each placed a program-record number of student-athletes on the league’s honor roll.

Pioneer Football League athletic directors and coaches established the honor roll in 2001 as a way to recognize the league’s outstanding student-athletes. To date the league has recognized more than 8,300 student-athletes on the PFL Academic Honor Roll.

The PFL Academic Honor Roll consists of student-athletes who participated in football at member institutions during the fall semester and posted a 3.0 grade-point average or higher during the semester while enrolled full-time in accordance with NCAA rules.
