Irving, Texas – Five members of the Bowling Green State University football program were named to the 2017 Hampshire Honor Society, as announced by The National Football Foundation & College Hall of Fame (NFF) Wednesday.
A total of 1,089 players from 297 schools across all divisions of college football were recognized for membership in the society's 11th year. BGSU's five members were second-most in the Mid-American Conference and tied for seventh-most across all FBS institutions.
Terrance Bush, Logan Dietz, Greg Hohenstein, Alfonso Mack and Ben Steward were all named to the society membership. Qualification for membership includes being a starter or significant contributor in an individual's final year of eligibility, achieving a 3.20 cumulative grade point average throughout the entire course of undergraduate study, and meeting all NCAA-mandated progress towards degree requirements.
"We are pleased to see a record number of colleges and universities embrace the Hampshire Honor Society this year," said NFF President & CEO Steve Hatchell. "Over the past decade, it has become 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."
Jon F. Hanson, the chairman and founder of The Hampshire Companies, provided the endowment to launch the NFF Hampshire Honor Society in 2007. He made the contribution as part of his legacy to the organization after serving as NFF Chairman from 1994-2006. He currently serves the organization as the chairman emeritus. Each player awarded with membership in this year's Honor Society will receive a certificate commemorating their achievement.
