IRVING, Texas (UND Athletics) – The National Football Foundation & College Hall of Fame (NFF) announced Wednesday the members of the 2020 NFF Hampshire Honor Society, which is comprised of college football players from all divisions of play who each maintained a cumulative 3.2 GPA or better throughout their college career.
