Monmouth, IL (04/15/2020) — A program-record five Monmouth College student-athletes have earned induction into the National Football Foundation Hampshire Society, recognizing academic excellence on the gridiron.

Seniors Seth Cunningham (Pontiac, Ill./Pontiac), Clark Gaden (Chatham, Ill./Chatham-Glenwood), McCauley Johnston (Wyoming, Ill./Stark County), Nick Miyler (Galesburg, Ill./Galesburg) and Brennan White (Virden, Ill./North Mac) are among the more than 1,400 players across all divisions to earn membership in the society. To gain membership in the honor society, players must have maintained a minimum 3.2 grade point average over the course of their playing careers.

Johnston, a defensive lineman, returned to the field a year after missing his entire junior season with an injury and played in all 10 games last fall. A two-time academic all-conference honoree, he is a business and accounting major and the son of David and Marque Johnston.

Miyler played in all 10 games last season, recording 49 solo tackles and 62 total stops as a defensive back to rank second on the team in each category. The first team all-conference selection is an exercise science major and the son of Adam and Casey Miyler.

White played in eight of Monmouth's 10 games last season, throwing a pair of touchdowns and passing for nearly 400 yards. A two-time academic all-conference honoree, the quarterback is an exercise science major and the son of Susan Kingdon and John White.
