IRVING, Texas -- In recognition of his outstanding accomplishments in the classroom and on the playing field, senior wide receiver Josh Hanna has been inducted into the inaugural class of the National Football Foundation's National Honor Society by the president and chief executive officer Steven J. Hatchell.

For 60 years, the NFF has honored the best and brightest that intercollegiate football has to offer. This exciting new initiative will allow the foundation to honor more scholar-athletes than ever before, with this year's inaugural class made up of 348 players from 195 schools.

A native of Booneville and the son of Bud Hanna and Kathy Detzler, Hanna spent all four seasons with Millsaps, three at wide receiver and one at defensive back, including starting in every game of his career. 

A four-time selection to the All-SCAC Team, Hanna averaged 14.6 yards-per-catch, hauling in 58 catches for 847 yards and six career touchdowns, including leading the team in receiving yardage and TDs his freshman year.

He also has 10 career punt returns for 64 yards and 30 kick returns, where he averaged a little less than 21 yards-per-return. At defensive back in 2005, Hanna recorded 24 tackles (17 solo), two INTs and five pass break-ups.

A chemistry major with a 3.5 GPA and a member of Student Affiliates of the American Chemistry Society and vice president of Kappa Sigma Fraternity, Hanna will begin graduate school at the University of Southern Mississippi in the fall of 2007 where he ultimately hopes to pursue a career in medicine.
