FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas senior Mason Overstreet was named the SEC men’s golf scholar-athlete of the year on Wednesday for the second consecutive season.
The Kingfisher, Okla., native has already graduated with a degree in business finance with a 3.88 grade point average. Overstreet is also a nominee for the SEC’s H. Boyd McWhorter Scholar-Athlete Post-Graduate Scholarship.
Overstreet has been on the SEC academic honor roll four times in his career and has posted a 4.0 GPA five times to earn Chancellor’s List recognition. With only four career “B”s on his transcript, he has also made the Dean’s List three other times.
The NCAA runner-up as a true freshman in 2017, Overstreet boasts a career scoring average of 72.04, which ranks second on Arkansas’ all-time list behind only the 71.8 average of Sebastian Cappelen (2010-14).
Overstreet and PGA pro Austin Cook of Jonesboro are the Razorbacks’ only two-time SEC Scholar-Athlete of the year recipients in men’s golf. Overstreet is the fifth SEC golfer to earn the honor in consecutive years.
