Three Valparaiso University football players that just graduated this past season were among the 671 total players selected nationwide as members of the National Football Foundation & College Hall of Fame (NFF) Hampshire Honor Society.

Travis Anderson (Chesterton, Ind./Chesterton H.S.), Nate Goergen (Golden, Colo./Golden H.S.), and Alex Soller (Michigan City, Ind./Michigan City H.S.) were selected in the society’s fifth year of existence.

Qualifications to be considered for membership in the NFF National Honor Society include being a starter or a significant substitute in one’s last year of eligibility, achieving a 3.2 cumulative grade point average through undergraduate study, and meeting all NCAA-mandated progress towards degree requirements.

The three join nine previous Crusaders to have been selected for the honor: Like Kanclerz, Ryan Koepke, Ryan Kozey, Tim Kratz, Tom Oswald, Adam Rundh, and Matt Watkins, Ross Wiemer, and Justin Wiler.
