IRVING, Texas- Caldwell University sprint football senior Steven Yost (Walnutport, Pa.) was one of 24 of Collegiate Sprint Football League (CSFL) student-athletes inducted in the prestigious National Football Foundation's (NFF) Hampshire Honor Society (Class of '21). It marks the first time in the conference's history that its student-athletes have been honored on a national level by the NFF.
 
The NFF's Hampshire Honor Society inducts student-athletes from across all levels of college football that meet certain academic standards while balancing the rigors of playing football. An elite group of 910 players from 255 schools qualified for membership in 2021 -- the Society's 15th year. The initiative has now honored 13,077 student-athletes since its inception.
