IRVING, Texas -April 11, 2018
Chairman Archie Manning and President Steve Hatchel of The National Football Foundation & College Hall of Fame (NFF) announced today the members of the 2018 NFF Hampshire Honor Society, which is comprised of college football players from all divisions of play who each maintained a cumulative 3.2 GPA or better throughout their college careers.
1,251 players from a pool of over 58,000 won the award this year. These players represent 302 schools from a pool of 778 colleges and universities with football programs nationwide.
Nominated by their respective schools, members of the Honor Society must have:
• Completed their final year of playing eligibility in 2017;
• Achieved a 3.2 cumulative grade point average throughout entire course of undergraduate study; and
• Met all NCAA or NAIA mandated progress toward degree requirements..
Yale led all schools with 22 honorees.
Arkansas led all FBS schools with 9 (followed by Auburn 7, Stanford 6, Duke 5, etc.)
I found it interesting that among the FBS schools, many like UConn had only one winner:
Arizona St, Boston College, Florida, Georgia Tech, Michigan St., Iowa, Kansas, Miami, Oklahoma, Texas, Wyoming, Virginia Tech and Washington St. Many other schools had multiple winners.
Here’s a list of all the winners.
