Embry-Riddle had 12 winter sports athletes honored by the NAIA as the Daktronics Scholar Athletes were released this week.  Each semester, the NAIA Scholar-Athlete list celebrates student-athletes who excel in both academic and athletic arenas. This honor recognizes student-athletes in each of the winter sports who have excelled academically, including basketball and wrestling.
