IRVING, Texas (April 15, 2020) - Twenty-four Atlantic Coast Conference football student-athletes have been named to the prestigious Hampshire Honor Society by the National Football Foundation & College Hall of Fame.

Nominated by their respective schools, members of the NFF Hampshire Honor Society must have:
- Completed their final year of playing eligibility in 2019
- Graduated players, who have remaining eligibility but will not return to collegiate play (e.g. declared for NFL Draft or retired from football), may also be nominated.
- Achieved a 3.2 cumulative grade point average throughout entire course of undergraduate study.
- Met all NCAA- or NAIA-mandated progress toward degree requirements; and
- Been starters or significant contributors throughout the 2019 season.
