HANOVER, N.H. — The National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame (NFF) announced the members of the 2016 NFF Hampshire Honor Society last week, and Dartmouth had three of its student-athletes selected for inclusion — running back Kyle Bramble, center Jacob Flores and wide receiver Ryan McManus.
The 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. A total of 868 players from 275 schools qualified for membership as the society celebrates its 10th year, setting a new record for the number of schools honored in the history of the program, which began in 2007. The student-athletes also must have been a starter or a significant substitute in their last year of eligibility and meet all NCAA-mandated progress towards degree requirements and graduation.
Bramble (Floyds Knobs, Indiana) shared the rushing load in the backfield for the Big Green, helping lead the team to a 9-1 overall record and a share of the Ivy League crown for the first time in 19 years with a 6-1 mark. The running back was second on the team with 363 yards on the ground at an average of 4.6 per carry while scoring one touchdown. He was also fourth on the squad with 19 receptions for 153 yards and two more scores. The engineering major with a 3.34 GPA finished his career with 260 rushes for 1,355 yards and eight touchdowns, ranking 18th all-time at Dartmouth in yardage and fifth in career average per carry (5.21). Bramble was also a two-time selection for the CoSIDA Academic All-District I Team and was a member of the All-Ivy League Second Team as a junior.
A religion major with a 3.39 GPA, Flores (Arlington, Texas) started every game the past three years, serving as the team's center in his senior campaign. Named to the All-Ivy League First Team as well as the All-New England Team (comprised of players from both the FBS and FCS), Flores was a big part of the line that helped this year's squad score nearly 29 points and gain 410 yards per game. He started every game on the line the last three years, helping the Big Green post a 23-7 record while protecting quarterback Dalyn Williams on his march to Big Green career records for passing yards and total yards. Like Bramble, Flores was also a two-time CoSIDA Academic All-District I honoree and was an All-Ivy League Second Team choice in 2014.
McManus (Mendota Heights, Minnesota), a history major with a 3.39 GPA, provided many highlight reel plays throughout his career as both a wide receiver and punt returner. The senior capped an outstanding career by catching 47 passes for 598 yards and a touchdown despite missing two games early in the season with an injury, bringing home All-Ivy League First Team honors for a second-straight year. He was sixth in the league in both receptions per game (5.9) and receiving yards per game (74.8) and twice went over 100 yards in a game (Yale and Harvard). For his career, the 5-11, 195-pounder finished third all-time at Dartmouth with 172 catches and fourth with 2,268 yards. In addition, McManus was listed on the All-Ivy Second Team as a return specialist, bringing back 25 punts for 216 yards, one year after earning a spot on the first team in that role as he finished his time in Hanover fifth all-time in all-purpose yards (2,929).
The Hampshire Honor Society represents a powerful component in the organization's rich history as an innovator in promoting the scholar-athlete ideal. Launched in 1959 with a donation from Hall of Fame coach (and Dartmouth head coach from 1934-40) Earl “Red” Blaik, the NFF's National Scholar-Athlete Awards, presented by Fidelity Investments, became the first initiative in history to grant postgraduate scholarships based on a player's combined academic success, football performance and community leadership. And, since its inception, the NFF National Scholar-Athlete Awards program has awarded $10.9 million to 816 top scholars and community leaders.
Dartmouth concludes its spring practice with the annual Green and White game on Saturday, May 7 on Memorial Field at 10 a.m.
