Louisiana Tech set a program record with 233 student-athletes named to the Conference USA Commissioner’s Honor Roll and had 66 earn the league’s Academic Medal, the conference office announced Thursday and Friday.
The Bulldogs and Lady Techsters reached the 200-honoree mark for the fifth consecutive year on the Honor Roll, which recognizes student-athletes with a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or higher during the 2025-26 academic year based on fall quarter grades.
The 233 honorees establish a new school record and push Louisiana Tech’s all-time total past 2,400 since joining Conference USA in 2013.
A day later, the league announced that 66 Louisiana Tech student-athletes earned the Commissioner’s Academic Medal, awarded to those with a cumulative GPA of 3.75 or higher. It marks the fifth straight year that at least 60 Bulldogs and Lady Techsters have received the distinction.
The 66 Academic Medal recipients tie for the second-highest total in program history and bring Louisiana Tech’s all-time number of medalists to 696 since entering Conference USA.
Three programs — football, men’s basketball and women’s basketball — set new program highs for Honor Roll selections. Four sports — bowling, football, men’s basketball and volleyball — either tied or set program records for Academic Medal recipients.
Louisiana Tech’s softball program led the way among Academic Medal winners with nine selections, while football paced the Honor Roll with 56 honorees.
The academic recognition highlights continued success in the classroom across Louisiana Tech’s athletic department, with more than a quarter of the school’s Conference USA honorees also earning the higher Academic Medal distinction.
