Congratulations to Jordan Hall, the winner of our Pioneer
Outstanding Scholar Award! Hall, a native of Chicago, IL, had an
outstanding season both on the field and off. The Most Outstanding Scholar
Award is given to the Pioneer that we believe is the best representation of a
true scholar athlete. It isn’t automatically given to the person with the
highest gpa, and it doesn’t necessarily have to be the best player, but rather to someone
that represents the ideals of a scholar athlete. The recipient is someone who dedicates their time
to their studies and to learning, but also someone who values their athletic
endeavors to an equal level, and someone that strives to be the best at both.
Last year's winner was defensive back and kicker Ibuki Ogasawara, who is now doing very well at Amazon, Japan. Jordan was an excellent selection this year. He was named to the Dean's List in the fall of '17, and is well on track to be named Academic All-Conference this year. He is a leader in our locker room and played very well at corner for us this year. He's started every game he's been healthy, and we are excited to see what he is
going to do in the years to come! Congrats Jordan!
