College football players from all divisions of the NCAA, NAIA, and sprint football who have maintained a cumulative grade point average of 3.2 or better throughout their college careers while being a starter or significant contributor during the 2025 season were eligible for nomination. This year's members represented six divisions: 5,691 from the Football Bowl Subdivision, 5,081 from the Football Championship Subdivision, 2,333 from NCAA Division II, 9,278 from NCAA Division III, 999 from the NAIA, and 249 sprint football players.

They are among a record 2,596 players from 365 schools who were nominated for Hampshire Honor Society membership in 2026, marking the largest class in the program's 20-year history.

Nominated by their respective schools, members of the NFF Hampshire Honor Society must be a senior player graduating this spring/summer who completed his final year of playing eligibility in 2025 or be a graduated player or grad transfer who has already earned a bachelor's degree and competed in the 2025 season (even if the player has remaining eligibility and may return to play next season).
