Statesmen Ranked 23rd in Preseason National Poll

With a strong core of returning players from a 9-2 season in 2021, the national pollsters at D3Football.com have high hopes for Hobart this season. The Statesmen came in at #23 on the preseason Top 25, just behind Liberty League foes Ithaca (17) and RPI (20).

It's shaping up to be another hyper-competitive year for the LL, which had the second most representatives in the preseason poll (3) of any top conference. The WIAC led the way with 4.

I'll have my annual preseason preview up in the coming weeks. Thanks for reading and go 'Bart! 

4 Statesmen Football Players Highlight the Hobart Hall of Fame Class of 2023

The Statesmen Athletic Association announced the Hobart College Athletics Hall of Fame yesterday and it featured four Statesmen football greats, including DE Tyre Coleman '15, OL Ali Marpet '15, QB Shawn Mizro '07 and QB Jeffrey Thon '77. You can read about them, and the other honorees, here.

Both Marpet and Coleman were named to this site's Hobart All-Decade (2010-19) team. Mizro was named to this site's Hobart All Decade team (2000-10) as well.

As of today, we are officially 50 days from the start of the D3FB season (51 until Hobart hosts Alfred on Friday night, September 2nd). I plan to check in with the coaching staff in the next couple of weeks and will have a preseason preview up near the middle / end of August.

Football season and the debut of Team 128 is coming up quickly. 

Really looking forward to the season. Thanks for reading and go 'Bart!
