SPARTANBURG, S.C. - 17 Keydets were named to the SoCon Fall Academic All-Conference Team released by the league Tuesday morning. Each of the SoCon's 10 full member institutions had at least 17 honorees, representing the sports of men's and women's cross country, football, men's and women's soccer and volleyball.

To be eligible for the academic all-conference team, student-athletes must carry at least a 3.3 cumulative grade-point average at the conclusion of the fall semester and were required to compete in at least one-half of their teams' competitions during the recently concluded campaign. In addition, the student-athletes must have successfully completed at least three semesters at their institutions, making true freshmen and first-year transfers ineligible for inclusion.
