MURFREESBORO, TN – For the third straight season, Middle Tennessee senior soccer standout Peyton DePriest has been named to the Conference USA All-Academic team. It is also the second time she has been honored as a first-team selection.

In this shortened six-game season, DePriest still managed to score four goals, giving her 46 for her career, a Blue Raider program record. It is also just one shy of the all-time Conference USA record.

Off the field, DePriest shines as well as she has already earned her bachelor's degree in Exercise Science, graduating with a GPA of 3.94. She is currently working toward her master's degree in Leisure, Sport, and Tourism Management.

The Franklin, Tennessee native is no stranger to awards as she is the two-time reigning Conference USA Offensive Player of the Year as well as the reigning Conference USA Player of the Year. DePriest was also named a United Soccer Coaches Scholar All-American in 2019.
