Former Huskers Ameer Abdullah, Mike Moudy, Mark Pelini and Trevor Roach each earned a spot on the NFF Hampshire Honor Society when the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame announced the members on Wednesday.

The 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 817 players from 278 schools qualified for membership in the society’s ninth year, setting a new record for the number of schools represented in the history of the program, which began in 2007.

Abdullah finished his collegiate career in 2014 by putting together his third consecutive 1,000-yard rushing season and completed his career with 4,588 yards on the ground, second-best in school history. A finalist for the Doak Walker Award, he ran for 1,611 yards and 19 touchdowns as a senior en route to second-team All-America honors from several publications.

Moudy started all 13 games on the offensive line and helped the Huskers rank among the top 20 nationally in rushing offense and scoring offense. Pelini also saw action on the offensive line, as he started the first 11 games of the 2014 campaign before suffering a season-ending ankle injury in November.

Roach helped lead the Blackshirt defense with 63 tackles in 2014, which included 32 solo stops. The linebacker started the final six games of the season and played every regular-season game before sitting out the Holiday Bowl with an injury.

Moudy, Pelini and Roach are each three-time Academic All-Big Ten team members.
