BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Tennessee's Kiki Milloy and Charlie Taylor have been nominated for the Southeastern Conference's H. Boyd McWhorter Scholar-Athlete Post-Graduate Scholarship, as announced by the league office on Wednesday.
The H. Boyd McWhorter Scholar-Athlete Post-Graduate Scholarship has been presented by the SEC since 1986 to the league's top male and female scholar-athletes.
Kiki Milloy - Softball
During her decorated career on Rocky Top, Milloy has cemented herself as one of the greatest players in the history of Tennessee softball while also serving as a top ambassador for the university.
The Woodinville, Washington, native, was named a University of Tennessee Torchbearer Award recipient in 2023, which is the highest university honor a student can receive. Milloy has been a force on the field and in the classroom, earning Academic All-America recognition in 2022 and 2023. A graduate student who is working towards a master's in business administration, Milloy has been selected to the SEC Academic Honor Roll four times.
Milloy is also the Lady Vols' single-season and career leader in home runs and led the program to a pair of SEC titles and a Women's College World Series appearance in 2023, where she was named to the all-tournament team after helping UT reach the semifinals.
Other notable accomplishments for Milloy include being named the 2023 Knox News Sportsperson of the Year and being tabbed a two-time All-American, earning consensus first-team accolades in 2023.

Throughout his four years at Tennessee, Taylor has been an invaluable member of the baseball program that has achieved unprecedented success during his time on campus, reaching three straight NCAA super regionals while making two trips to Omaha for the Men's College World Series.

Taylor embodies what it means to be a student-athlete, earning SEC Academic Honor Roll recognition three times while being named a 2023 Academic All-District selection as a junior.
