Eight Titans Selected To National Football Foundation's Honor Society
IRVING, Texas—Eight members of the UW-Oshkosh Titans football program were announced as members of the 2023 National Football Foundation (NFF) Hampshire Honor Society.
Jimmy Duval, Stephan Flores, Brandon Kolgen, Peter MacCudden, Jack Satori, Kyle Scharenbroch, Jared Tenpas, and Mac Winkler represent the Titans on the list.
The NFF Hampshire Honor Society is comprised of football players from all divisions of the NCAA, NAIA, and Sprint football. To be named to the list, a student-athlete must have maintained a 3.2 cumulative GPA or better throughout their college careers. In addition to the GPA requirement, each player must have been a starter or significant contributor as a senior during the 2022 football season.
An elite group of 1,734 players from 328 schools qualified for membership, which set a record for numbers of members in a single year.
"We are thrilled to honor another impressive group of athletes as part of this year's Hampshire Honor Society," said NFF President & CEO Steve Hatchell. "Over the last 17 years, the Hampshire Honor Society has served as a powerful vehicle for schools to recognize their college football players who have distinguished themselves both academically and athletically, and we congratulate the schools and each of these young men for their commitment to excellence in all aspects of their lives."
The NFF Hampshire Honor Society capitalizes on the NFF's National Scholar-Athlete program by greatly expanding the number of scholar-athletes the NFF can recognize each year. The program further strengthens the organization's leadership role in encouraging academic performance by the student-athletes at the 774 colleges and universities with football programs nationwide.
Kolgen is a First Team All-WIAC Defense member, Scharenbroch was an honorable mention, and Duval represented the Titans on the All-Sportsmanship team.
This is Flores's second academic honor as he was named to the College Sports Communicators (CSC) Academic All-District team in the fall.
This is Kolgen's third postseason honor as he also earned Second Team Defense honors from D3football.com All-Region.
The Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference is represented by 21 individuals from four conference schools.
