University of South Carolina wide receiver Moe Brown has been named to the 2010 National Football Foundation & College Hall of Fame Hampshire Honor Society. Brown will graduate this week with a degree in finance/marketing.
The NFF Hampshire Honor Society recognizes college football players from all divisions of play who maintained a 3.2 grade point average or better. A total of 620 players from 246 schools qualified for membership in the society's fourth year.
"The NFF's mission is to build leaders through football, and this year's Hampshire Honor Society members are living proof of that charge," said NFF Chairman Archie Manning. "Each of these young men has showcased a strong desire to succeed on and off the football field, and we are certainly proud to honor them for their accomplishments as the next generation of our nation's leaders."
The NFF Hampshire Honor Society capitalizes on the NFF's current National Scholar-Athlete program, greatly expanding the number of scholar-athletes the NFF can recognize each year and further strengthening the organization's leadership role in encouraging academic performance by the student- athletes who play football at the more than 700 college and universities with football programs nationwide. Jon F. Hanson, the chairman and founder of The Hampshire Companies, provided an 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.
