The APR is a measure used by the NCAA to pursue the academic progress of student athletes in every team of Division I by a team-based metric in which variables such as justification and storage are emphasized.

The performance further proves that the Eagles refuse to impair academic excellence and at the same time pursue sports championships.

“I am incredibly proud of the achievement of our football team to achieve a perfect APR value of over 1,000,” head coach Trei Oliver said. “This is more than just a number for us. It is the academic equivalent of the profit of a national championship.
