2025 ROSTER
The 2025 Hilbert College Football roster will feature several key returning starters, as well as an influx of exciting new talent with freshman making up over half the roster.
Captains
Brody Hopkins,
Bryce Robinson,
Drew Mascio, and
Scotty Winchell will be relied upon to lead the team on and off the field as multi-year starters.
Hopkins, a two-year starting quarterback, has completed 95 passes for 902 yards and four touchdowns in his career. Robinson returns as a key contributor on the Hilbert offense and one of Hopkins' favorite targets. The senior from Tucson, AZ has totaled 474 receiving yards, 185 rushing yards, and 512 return yards in his career. Running back
Mike Hanlon will also be called on to help lead the Hilbert offense after an impressive freshman campaign that saw him earn Second-Team All-Empire 8 honors. The Brocton, NY native tallied 489 rushing yards with three scores on the ground last fall.
Mascio is back for his second year with the Hawks and will look to provide stability on the Hilbert offensive line after starting all ten games a year ago.
Winchell, a linebacker that recorded 50 tackles in 2024, will lead a defensive unit that returns starters on all levels.
Clifford Zeigler (22 tackles, 3.5 TFL), and
Sherrad Patterson II (18 tackles, 4.5 TFL, 1 INT) will look to anchor the defensive line, while
