May 2, 2013
IRVING, Texas (NFF/SMU) - SMU's Cameron Rogers and Mark Voosen were named to the 2013 National Football Foundation Hampshire Honor Society, the NFF & College Hall of Fame announced today. The NFF Hampshire Honor Society 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.
Rogers, who earned his undergraduate degree in sports management prior to his senior season, played in eight games as a linebacker for the Mustangs in 2012, starting six before suffering a season-ending injury. He had 18 tackles, including one for loss, and added an interception return for a touchdown, returning the ball 96 yards against SFA. He was part of an SMU senior class that played in a school-record four consecutive bowl games. He is pursuing his graduate degree in liberal studies.
Voosen, who is completing his bachelor's degree in applied physiology and sports management, played in a school-record-tying 53 games. The four-year deep snapper was part of an SMU senior class that played in a school-record four consecutive bowl games as he finished his career without a bad snap.
"The growing number of schools involved in the Hampshire Honor Society each year shows that football student-athletes not only play at the highest level but that they are some of the best students on campus as well," said NFF President & CEO Steve Hatchell. "Congratulations to each of these young men for their commitment to education and their leadership on and off the football field."
A total of 703 players from 259 schools qualified for membership in the society's seventh year, marking the highest school participation in the history of the program, which began in 2007.
