USC Student-Athletes: Reaching their full potential academically, personally, athletically and professionally
USC is as proud of its student-athletes' achievements in the classroom as it is of their triumphs on the playing field.
After all, the Trojans not only are second in the nation in the number of national team championships (86 by the men and 20 by the women), but rank in the Top 10 in the number of NCAA post-graduate scholarship recipients (55).
Also, USC athletics has had three Rhodes Scholars (quarterback
Pat Haden, swimmer Desmond Koh and trackster James O'Toole), 28 first team Academic All-Americans (including 22 footballers, tops among Pac-10 schools and sixth best in the nation), eight winners of the prestigious NCAA Today's Top Six scholar award, 12 National Football Foundation Scholar-Athletes, 10 recipients of the NCAA Silver Anniversary Award (tied for most in the nation), an NCAA Inspiration Award winner (swimmer Mike Nyeholt), a Luce Scholar (swimmer Dennis Scannell), a NCAA Women's
Enhancement Program Post-Graduate Scholar (soccer player Laura Servis), a NCAA Ethnic-Minority Enhancement Program Post-Graduate Scholar (footballer Dong Koo) and two USC valedictorians (water poloist Craig Furniss and volleyballer Alaina Kipps).
In 1988, Haden was inducted into the charter six-member class of the GTE Academic All-American Hall of Fame and baseball star Don Buford Jr. won the first-ever Woody Hayes Academic All-American Award presented by the Columbus Touchdown Club to the top NCAA Division I male student-athlete (footballer John Jackson won the award in 1990 and volleyballer Katie Haller won the women's award in 1994). Jackson was also named a winner of the first-ever NACDA/Disney Scholar-Athlete Award in 1990, and Jeremy Hogue, Matt Keneley and Mike Van Raaphorst were 1996, 1997 and 2000 NACDA Foundation Preseason Games Scholar-Athletes, respectively (Keneley also received a NACDA Foundation Post-Graduate Scholarship in 1997).
In 1997, Keith Van Horne was named to the GTE Academic All-American All-Time Football Team.
