The eight honorees did fine work in the classroom and on the field

The 2025 John Carroll Football season was a historic season for the Blue Streaks, finishing 12-2 and making their way to the NCAA Division III Semifinal. The season was outlined by defining wins, namely a double overtime thriller at Mount Union in the playoffs and a critical North Coast Athletic Conference victory at DePauw. But the season wasn't just great on the field.
