The National Football Foundation & College Hall of Fame released its 2021 NFF Hampshire Honor Society, naming four Southwestern football players to the list honored for their academic excellence. 

The National Football Foundation & College Hall of Fame recognized Southwestern's Austin Castilleja, Charles De La Rosa, Wil Herbst, and Seth McCrum for their cumulative academic and athletic excellence. 

Members of the NFF Hampshire Honor Society must have:

  • Completed their final year of playing eligibility in Fall 2021;

    • Graduated players, who have remaining eligibility but will not return to collegiate play (e.g. declared for the NFL Draft or retired from football), may also be nominated. 

  • Attained a minimum undergraduate cumulative GPA of 3.2 (4.0 scale); 

  • Met all NCAA/NAIA-mandated progress towards degree requirements; and

  • Been starters or significant contributors throughout the 2021 season.

The NFF Hampshire Honor Society is comprised of college football players from all divisions of the NCAA, NAIA, and spring football who each maintained a cumulative 3.2 GPA or better throughout their college careers. An elite group of 1,559 players from 313 schools qualified for membership in the Society's 16th year.
