WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. – Two-time All-Landmark Conference offensive lineman Braedon Hart (Philadelphia, Pa./Father Judge) was named one of 178 semifinalists for the 2025 William V. Campbell Trophy, the National Football Foundation and College Football Hall of Fame announced this week.
 
Hart, an accounting major with an economics minor, is a three-year starter for the Warriors, helping the team accumulate more than 6,500 yards of total offense in the past 24 games, earning Second Team All-Landmark Conference honors in 2024 and Honorable Mention All-Landmark Conference accolades in 2023. He also helped the Warriors win the 2023 Cape Charles Bowl.

In the classroom, the 6-1 lineman earned induction into the Omicron Delta Epsilon Economics Honor Society. He is a three-time dean's list honoree, a 2023 MAC Academic Honor Roll and a two-time Landmark Conference Academic Honor Roll selection.
 
"One of the most remarkable things I can say about Braedon is that even though he missed the last three games last season, all of which were conference games, he was still voted second team all-conference," Lycoming head coach Mike Clark said. "He is everything you need in a center - big, physical and smart. A lot of people were excited when Braedon decided to come here because of the career his father, Tim (who was a captain on the 1997 national runner's up) had here and Braedon has certainly lived up to that legacy."
 
Hart has also been a part of the football team's volunteer efforts with the Favors Forward Spring Cleanup and Be the Match Bone Marrow Drive the last two years.
