Wayne State Leads The GLIAC With Seven Hampshire Honor Society Inductees

WSU had the fourth-most honorees of any school in Michigan.

DETROIT -- The Wayne State University football program led the GLIAC and was fourth in the state of Michigan with seven graduating football players receiving membership into the National Football Foundation's Hampshire Honor Society.

Nominated by their respective schools, members of the NFF Hampshire Honor Society must have:
• Completed their final year of playing eligibility in Fall 2021;
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.
• Attained a minimum undergraduate cumulative GPA of 3.2 (4.0 scale);
• Met all NCAA/NAIA-mandated progress towards degree requirements; and
• Been starters or significant contributors throughout the 2021 season.

Among GLIAC schools, only Ferris State (6) and Michigan Tech (5) were listed. The top Michigan schools were Hillsdale (14), Kalamazoo (10), Western Michigan (8), Eastern Michigan (6), Olivet (4), Central Michigan (4), Michigan State (2) and Michigan (2).

Recognized from Wayne State were quarterback Jake AmRhein (South Elgin, Ill.), kicker Luke Bevilacqua (Lake Orion, Mich.), left tackle Landin Mitchell (Goodrich, Mich.), offensive lineman Lane Potter (Hudsonville, Mich.), linebacker Cameron Rogers (Riverview, Mich.), center Reid Thompson (Fenton, Mich.) and right tackle Joe Ziedas (Dearborn, Mich. / Universiyt of Detroit Jesuit).

AmRhein, Mitchell and Potter all served as team captains last fall.
