Junior safety Kevin Hwang '14 was named as the potential Midwest Conference's Breakout Player in 2012 according to D3Football.com's Kickoff 2012 publication. Saying that after suffering a season-ending injury in 2011 saying that "the explosive defensive threat won't escape attention anymore."

The Honor G

The Honor G, the official emblem of Grinnell College athletics, was first used at the Iowa state track championship in 1892. Designed by Earnest "Skip" Atherton, class of 1895, the original Honor G consisted of a scarlet maltese cross with a black "I and "C" (for Iowa College) superimposed on the cross. Two years later in 1894, the "I" and "C" were replaced by a black gothic "G", and the modern day Honor G was born. The gothic "G", which was also used on letter sweaters and is now used on letter jackets, was replaced by an Old English "G" in the mid-1930's. After some protest, it was quickly changed back to the gothic "G", and it has remained unchanged since that time.
