Thank You to the Class of 2021!

One of the bigger graduating classes the Hobart Football team has fielded in some time, the Class of 2021 has had a roller coaster ride of a college experience. Recruited by former HC Mike Cragg, these Statesmen went 7-3 in their first season, then saw Cragg's retirement lead to the return of Kevin DeWall '00.

The 2018 season got off to a rough start - I remember because I was there - but this young team would persevere to eventually post a winning record in DeWall's first season as HC. In 2019 we saw continued improvement, and the team finished 9-2, bringing the program it's first postseason win since 2015 - the New York State Bowl championship!

Unfortunately with the cancellation of the 2020 season, the vast majority of these student athletes never got to have a true final regular season / Senior Day experience on the Boz. I understand over the most recent graduation weekend, there were a number of events held and this Class of 2021 was celebrated appropriately.

While I understand that there will be five 5th year SR players returning to campus this fall:

SR DB Cal Sullivan

SR DB Jared Leake

SR OLB Emmett Forde

SR DL Shane White

SR DL Isaiah Boone
