Fourteen Kalamazoo College football players were recognized as members of the 2018 National Football Foundation Hampshire Honor Society.
The Hampshire Honor Society recognizes college football players from all divisions who maintained a cumulative 3.2 GPA or better throughout their college careers, completed their final year of playing eligibility in 2017, were starters or significant contributors throughout the 2017 season and met all NCAA- or NAIA-mandated progress toward degree requirements.
