TSU Director of Compliance Larry Woods accepted the award on behalf of the Texas Southern football program during the FCS ADA Luncheon held in conjunction with the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) Convention in Orlando, Florida.
"The success of our football program as it relates to APR is a direct reflection of the hard work put in by student-athletes inside the classroom," said Woods.
