Irving, Texas – Fourteen Bears from 10 different sports have been awarded the 2021 Dr. Gerald Lage Academic Achievement Award, the Big 12 Conference's highest academic honor, the league announced on Wednesday.

Overall, 121 student-athletes were awarded the 2021 Dr. Lage Academic Award and the Bears' 14 honorees were the fourth-most in the conference.

The award is in its 11th year and has recognized a total of 301 conference student-athletes. Over the last four years, the Bears have had 47 honorees.

In order to be eligible for the accolade, student-athletes must have lettered at least once in their career while maintaining residence at their institution for at least one academic year. The honoree, which can only be recognized once, should have 100 hours of earned credit with a cumulative grade-point average of 3.80 at the time of the nomination.

The award is in memory of Lage, who served as the Oklahoma State faculty athletics representative with the NCAA and the Big Eight/Big 12 Conference from 1983 until his death in 2007.
