Four North Central Cardinals football players, including running back Ethan Greenfield, are part of the 2021 College Football America Yearbook’s Division III Preseason Starting Lineup, the book’s version of a preseason All-America team.
Just as importantly, the Cardinals are No. 3 in the 2021 College Football America Yearbook’s Division III Preseason Top 30. And, Greenfield is on the cover of the Division III section of the book.
The Cardinals did not play a game in 2020 due to COVID-19.
Oddly enough, all four North Central selections were part of the College Football America Yearbook’s 2020Starting Lineup — Greenfield, wide receiver Andrew Kamienski, offensive lineman Sharmore Clarke and defensive back Jake Beesley. Many of the members of this year’s Starting Lineup are tapping into the extra year of eligibility provided to all players due to COVID-19.
North Central won its first national championship in 2019, defeating perennial power Wisconsin-Whitewater.
The Cardinals opens the 2021 season on Sept. 11 against Aurora, followed by a road game at Wheaton on Sept. 18.
The Division III section of the College Football America 2021 Yearbook features 36 pages of content including:
