Missouri Football Team's GPA Surfaces Before 2025 Season

Along with the team's impressive grades, seven football athletes graduated with their degrees from the University of Missouri. 

Long snapper Trey Flint finished graduate school with his master's alongside two seasons at Mizzou. 

Backup quarterback Brett Brown graduated from the Trulaske College of Business, and safety Daylan Carnell and cornerback Dreyden Norwood graduated from the College of Arts and Science. 

Backup quarterback Tommy Lock and offensive lineman Connor Tollison graduated from the College of Agriculture, Food & Natural Resources and safety Tre'Vez Johnson graduated from the College of Education & Human Development. 

Collectively from all athletics programs, student-athletes earned a cumulative Spring 2025 grade-point average of 3.402, the highest spring semester student-athlete GPA in the university's history.

"Mizzou student-athletes continue to set the standard in the classroom," Director of Athletics Laird Veatch said. "Achieving the highest spring semester GPA in our department's history is a testament to their discipline and commitment to excellence. I couldn't be prouder of how they represent Mizzou."

This semester marked the 17th-consecutive semester Mizzou student-athletes produced an average GPA of 3.0 or higher. Last fall, student-athletes set the department's overall highest single-semester GPA at 3.44.

"To follow a record-setting fall with another historic academic performance this spring speaks volumes about the culture our student-athletes have built at Mizzou," Executive Athletics Director for Academic Services Tami Chievous said. "They've embraced the challenge of balancing elite competition with academic achievement, and their success reflects the tireless support from our academic staff, coaches and support staff."

Across all programs, 108 Mizzou student-athletes were honored for earning their degrees during commencement ceremonies earlier this May.
