A total of 73 Bulldogs earned the Commissioner's Academic Excellence Award, which requires a minimum grade point average of 3.5 for the previous two semesters, a minimum 3.2 cumulative grade point average, and participation in athletics a minimum of two years. 

Finally, 205 Drake student-athletes earned a spot on 2018-19 MVC Honor Roll.
