Hunter Abrams | Baseball (2005-2008) - Class of 2008
 
Hunter Abrams is one of the greatest to ever wear the purple and white. From Columbus, Mississippi, Hunter wore #11 for the Majors from 2005 to 2008. A three-time All-SCAC First Team selection and four-time Academic Honor Roll member, Hunter excelled both on the field and in the classroom. He was named an ABCA All-American in 2006, earned All-South Region honors in 2007 and 2008, and claimed an ABCA Gold Glove in 2007. Twice recognized on the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District Team, Hunter's career achievements also earned him a spot on the SCAC 30th Anniversary Baseball Team.
 
Statistically, Hunter's numbers are remarkable. He still holds SCAC Tournament career records for hits and runs scored, led the league with 85 hits in 2006, and finished his career with 240 hits — the most during Millsaps' SCAC era and second-most all-time. At the time of his induction, he ranks fourth in RBIs, third in games played, and seventh in doubles in Millsaps history. All while posting an impressive .361 career batting average. More importantly, Hunter helped lead Millsaps to three SCAC regular-season titles, two SCAC Tournament Championships, and two NCAA Regional appearances. He was at his best when the stage was at its biggest, earning multiple SCAC All-Tournament and NCAA Regional All-Tournament honors.
 

Doug Brindley | Football (1972–1975) | Class of 1976
 
Doug Brindley was a standout kicker and reliable playmaker for the Millsaps Majors from 1972 to 1975. Wearing both #10 and #73, the Knoxville, Tennessee native helped lead the Majors to one of the most successful eras in program history. Over this four year span Millsaps football has a combined 23-13 record and made its first-ever appearance in the NCAA Division III Playoffs in 1975 — a run that included the program's first NCAA postseason victory and a NCAA Semifinal appearance.
 
Doug's consistency and clutch performances made him one of the best kickers in Millsaps history. He ranks fifth all-time in career extra points made and attempted and eighth in career field goals. Doug started off his career in clutch fashion. In 1972, his freshman season, he hit a crucial field goal vs Sewanee in a low scoring affair ending in a 3-0 victory for the Majors. In 1974, he was nearly perfect, converting 13 of 14 extra-point attempts while leading the team in scoring. Doug carried that same poise into the historic 1975 campaign, delivering in big moments, including a perfect five-for-five on extra points and a field goal in a dominant 38-0 win over Austin College.


Will Hall | Football (1990–1993) | Class of 1994
 
Will Hall was a dynamic and versatile player who left his mark on Millsaps Football from 1990 to 1993. Hailing from Indianola, Mississippi, Will began his career as a running back before transitioning to defensive back, where he became one of the most feared playmakers in the SCAC.

Will was a two-time All-SCAC selection, earning First Team honors in 1992 and Second Team honors in 1993. That 1992 season was one for the record books — Will led all of NCAA Division III with three interceptions returned for touchdowns, including a game-winning 73-yard return at DePauw. He also led the SCAC that year with six total interceptions and recorded 32 tackles, proving to be a true difference-maker on defense.

During his career, Will helped lead the Majors to four consecutive winning seasons and a combined record of 22-14-1, including the 1991 SCAC Championship, the first year the league officially carried its SCAC name. In his senior year, he capped off his Millsaps career by earning the Jackson Touchdown Club Most Valuable Senior Award, a testament to his leadership and impact on and off the field.


Deena Li Price | Women's Tennis (2012–2015) | Class of 2015
 
Hailing from Mauritius, Deena Li Price  made an immediate impact on the tennis program and quickly established herself as one of the premier players in Division III tennis.

During her incredible career, Deena compiled a remarkable 70-7 overall record, with all seven of her defeats coming against All-American opponents. In 2014, she became an ITA All-American and made history by qualifying for the NCAA Division III Championships, becoming the first Major to do so in 25 years. She advanced to the Round of 16 that year and returned to the national stage again in 2015, solidifying her place among the program's all-time greats.

Deena was a four-time First Team All-Conference selection, earning First Team All-SCAC honors in 2012 and First Team All-SAA recognition in 2013, 2014, and 2015. As a freshman in 2012, she posted an extraordinary 21-2 record at No. 1 singles, including 18 consecutive victories, while helping Millsaps secure its highest-ever finish in the SCAC Tournament. That same year she recorded a 17-6 record at #1 doubles.


Caroline McKey Younger | Volleyball (2011–2014) | Class of 2015
 
An outside hitter and defensive specialist from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Caroline McKey Younger wore #11 for the Majors and helped propel the program to unprecedented success.

During her four seasons, the Majors posted an impressive 84-42 overall record, including a runner-up finish in both the regular season and postseason of the Southern Athletic Association in 2012 and another runner-up regular season finish in 2014. That same year, her senior campaign, Caroline was named the SAA Offensive Player of the Year, earned AVCA All-South Region Honorable Mention honors, and claimed her second straight All-SAA First Team selection.

Statistically, Caroline's career ranks among the best ever at Millsaps. She recorded 1,075 kills and 1,370 digs, becoming just the 11th player in program history to join the prestigious 1,000/1,000 club. She also added 154 assists, 106 aces, and 68 blocks while consistently leading the team in multiple categories. Caroline posted team highs in kills, points, and digs in both 2013 and 2014, led the Majors in total attacks for three straight seasons, and ranked among the top players in program history for single-season sets played.

She also secured the penultimate point in the record-setting 90 point set and eventual win in 2013 vs BSC. This set is still ranked as the highest point total in an NCAA match and was recognized by the SAA as a 10 year anniversary best moment.


Jennifer McKinley | Softball (2007–2010) | Class of 2010

Jennifer McKinley, a third baseman from Frisco, Texas, was one of the most prolific hitters in Millsaps College softball and SCAC history.

The 2010 SCAC Softball Player of the Year made First Team All-SCAC on three occasions (2007, 2009, 2010) and was named to the Louisville Slugger/NFCA All-Atlantic Region Second Team in 2009 and 2010. In 2007 she was First Team All-Atlantic Region, was All-SCAC Second Team in 2008 and was named to the SCAC 30th Anniversary Softball Team (2006-2020) after her career concluded.

Her list of awards continued by earning recognition in 2007 and 2008 on the SCAC Softball All-Tournament Team, making the 2010 ESPN The Magazine/CoSIDA All-America Second Team and the 2008 ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District First Team for District 6.

McKinley was tied atop the SCAC in doubles (13) in 2007, led in home runs (13) in 2010 and her 13-home run season is tied for fourth in the SCAC all-time. An NFCA Scholar-Athlete, her 28 career home runs are still tied for second in SCAC history. She also holds the SCAC Softball Tournament record with a 10 total-base game and is tied with four career postseason home runs. McKinley's three-home run game versus Mississippi College in 2010 is still tied atop the conference, and tied for second with 12 total bases from that game.

Lastly, she is tied atop the SCAC Softball Tournament record book with a four-hit game as well as a two-homer game and five-RBI game. McKinley's incredible career ended with a spot on the All-SCAC Sportsmanship Team, 127 career RBIs, 186 career hits, a .394 batting average and 44 career doubles.


Hunter Owen | Baseball (2005–2009) | Class of 2008

From 2005 to 2009, Hunter Owen helped power the Majors through one of their most successful eras, leaving behind a record book filled with his name.

Hunter's list of accomplishments is extraordinary. A six-time All-American, he earned ABCA and D3baseball.com honors from 2007 through 2009, including First Team ABCA All-American recognition in 2007. He was a two-time SCAC Player of the Year in 2007 and 2008, a three-time All-SCAC First Team selection, and a member of both the D3baseball.com All-Decade Team and the SCAC 30th Anniversary Baseball Team.

Statistically, Hunter's career was nothing short of remarkable. He set the program record for career home runs (41) and single-season home runs (16) while also establishing the program record for career RBIs (186) and tying the record for career total bases (387) and doubles (55). He ranks third in career batting average (.382), second in career walks (123), and sits among Millsaps' all-time leaders in nearly every major offensive category. In 2007, he led the entire nation with 70 RBIs and posted one of the most dominant offensive seasons in program history.
 
Hunter also thrived on the biggest stages, especially in SCAC Tournament play, where he set multiple career and single-season records, including tournament batting average, on-base percentage, doubles, walks, and RBIs per game. He helped lead Millsaps to four SCAC championships and three NCAA Regional appearances, playing a central role in elevating the program to national prominence.


Casey Younger | Football (2004–2007) | Class of 2008
 
Casey Younger was one of the most dominant defensive linemen in Millsaps Football history. From Vicksburg, Mississippi, Casey was a force in the trenches for the Majors, helping lead the program to one of its most successful stretches ever.

A two-time All-SCAC First Team selection in 2006 and 2007, Casey earned SCAC Co-Defensive Player of the Year honors in 2007 and was recognized nationally as a D3football.com Honorable Mention All-American. He was also named First Team All-South Region in 2007 after earning Third Team honors in 2006, and his career ultimately earned him a spot on the SCAC 30th Anniversary Football Team.

Casey was a difference-maker on defense, finishing his Millsaps career with 180 total tackles, 29 tackles for loss, 12 sacks, and two forced fumbles. In 2007, he posted one of the most memorable single-game performances in program history, recording three sacks and four tackles for loss in a 42-0 victory over Rhodes College. That season, he also led the Majors to a share of the SCAC Championship, following up on Millsaps' 2006 title run that culminated in an NCAA Playoff appearance.

Equally impressive in the classroom, Casey earned SCAC Academic Honor Roll recognition, was selected to the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District 6 First Team and was inducted into the National Football Foundation Hampshire Honor Society. He capped off his senior year by earning the Jackson Touchdown Club Most Valuable Senior Award for Millsaps.
