IRVING, Texas – Hayden Ferrigno and Alex Tran are the first two seniors in Roosevelt football history to be part of the National Football Foundation's Hampshire Honor Society, celebrating the top student-athletes in college football.

In order to qualify for the Hampshire Honor Society, a student-athlete must maintain a 3.2 cumulative GPA throughout their college careers and be a senior player graduating this spring who was a significant contributor or starter. This year, Ferrigno and Tran joined a record 2,514 players from 339 schools who qualified for membership, marking the largest class in the program's 19-year history.

Ferrigno was a stalwart on the offensive line during his five years in the Green and White, including being named a first-team All-Mid States Football Association Midwest League selection in 2023. He appeared in nine games this past season for the Lakers and graduated last year with his degree in special education.

Tran has been a consistent target for Roosevelt quarterbacks the past three years with 46 career receptions for 537 yards and eight touchdowns in 38 games. He had his best year this past season with a career-high 18 catches for a career-best 222 yards as well as three touchdowns in nine appearances for the Lakers. The Bolingbrook native is a two-time CSC Academic All-District honoree who is graduating this spring with a degree in finance.

"This year's record-setting class reminds us just how many outstanding young men are using college football as a platform to launch successful futures," NFF Chairman Archie Manning said. "The Hampshire Honor Society continues to celebrate those who lead by example—excelling academically, athletically and as people of character. We're proud to honor them and deeply grateful to Jon Hanson for making this inspiring tradition possible."
