3 HUSKERS NAMED TO HAMPSHIRE HONOR SOCIETY
by US Fed News
NU's three honorees completed their eligibility last fall after standout careers for the Huskers. Peterson, a native of Grand Island, finished among the top five players in NU history in receptions and receiving yardage for wide receivers. Titchener was a three-year starter, placing 55 career punts inside the opposition's 20-yard line, and Wortman, from his linebacker position, solidified a defensive unit that ranked second in the Big 12 in total defense last season. 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 student-athletes. Qualification for membership includes: - Being a starter or a significant substitute in one's last year of eligibility at an accredited NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision, Football Championship Subdivision, Division II, Division II, or an NAIA college or university ; - Achieving a 3.2 cumulative grade-point average throughout entire course of undergraduate study; and - Meeting all NCAA-mandated progress towards degree requirements. The NFF will also announce its 2009 College Football Hall of Fame Class on April 30. Former Huskers Trev Alberts (1990-93), Will Shields (1989-92) and Grant Wistrom (1994-97) are on the ballot.For more information please contact: Sarabjit Jagirdar, Email:- htsyndication@hindustantimes.com
