    CONWAY, Ark.  _ Three former University of Central Arkansas football players were named Wednesday to the National Football Foundation & College Hall of Fame (NFF) 2021 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 careers.
    
     UCA's Will Siler, Austin Norris and Chris Kershner were named among an elite group of 910 players from 255 schools who qualified for membership in 2021, the Society's 15th year. The initiative has now honored 13,077 student-athletes since its inception. Siler was a deep snapper and holder from Searcy, Ark. Norris was a defensive tackle from Conway, Ark. Kershner was a defensive back from Dardanelle, Ark.

    "We are pleased to honor another impressive group of athletes as part of this year's Hampshire Honor Society," said NFF President & CEO Steve Hatchell. "For more than a decade, the Hampshire Honor Society has served as a powerful vehicle for schools to recognize their college football players who have distinguished themselves both academically and athletically, and we congratulate the schools and each of these young men for their commitment to excellence in all aspects of their lives.'
    
     Nominated by their respective schools, members of the NFF Hampshire Honor Society must have:
• Completed their final year of playing eligibility in Fall 2020 or Spring 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
• Been starters or significant contributors throughout the 2020-21 season.
    
     The NFF Hampshire Honor Society capitalizes on the NFF's National Scholar-Athlete program by greatly expanding the number of scholar-athletes the NFF can recognize each year. The program further strengthens the organization's leadership role in encouraging academic performance by the student-athletes at the 765 colleges and universities with football programs nationwide.
