The University of Arkansas announced Wednesday it has nominated women’s track and field performer Tamara Kuykendall and men’s golfer Mason Overstreet for the SEC’s prestigious H. Boyd McWhorter Scholar-Athlete post-graduate scholarship.
The scholarship has been presented by the SEC since 1986 to the top male and female scholar-athletes from a list of nominees from each member school. The recipients are chosen by a committee of faculty athletics representatives from all 14 SEC schools.
The SEC will name the 2020 recipients on May 26. The conference provides the winners a $20,000 post-graduate scholarship and the remaining 26 nominees receive a $10,000 post-graduate scholarship.
