From football, basketball, baseball and gymnastics, student athletes at the University of Georgia major in many diverse fields. However there are some parallels and disparities within the academic majors of every sport.
Football is unarguably the trademark sport of Georgia and the athletes at Georgia are, arguably, some of the most scrutinized and observed in the SEC. However, the majors of these student players, are not that distinct. According to the official roster online at georgiadogs.com, more than half of the football team's majors are unspecified or not listed.
Some of the most acclaimed players on Georgia's football team, like Todd Gurley and Keith Marshall, are majoring in different fields than their fellow teammates. Both Todd Gurley and Keith Marshall major in Pre-Business. Other players like Damian Swann and Hutson Mason major in Communication Studies. Michael Bennett is majoring in Sports Management and Chris Conley majors in Mass Media Arts.
In basketball, out of the 16 players on the team, more than half don't have their majors listed, and two are undeclared and unspecified, according to the official roster.
Out of 34 players on the baseball team at Georgia, nine of the players major in athletic-related fields like Sports Management and Exercise & Sport Science. Many also major in Communication Studies and Pre-Business, but there are also Political Science, Agribusiness, and Sociology majors, as well.
In women's gymnastics at UGA, the gymnasts' majors range from Marketing and Psychology to double majors in Sports Medicine/Kinesiology and Business and Sports Management.
