Five student-athletes from Purdue University's College of Agriculture earned Academic All-Big Ten recognition during the fall 2020 sports season. They were among 96 Purdue student-athletes to earn the title across the university.
To qualify for Academic All-Big Ten honors, student-athletes must carry a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher while enrolled full-time. Though cross country, soccer and volleyball were postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Big Ten chose to recognize eligible players.
2020 was the third year Hayley Bush, Hannah Melchiorre, Taylor Mortensen and Brooks Royal earned the honor.
This year's recipients, pictured below, represent the departments of agricultural economics, animal sciences, biochemistry and agricultural & biological engineering.
