Division III Safety Becomes First Female Non-Kicker to Play in College Football Game

College football history was made Saturday afternoon in Winchester, Va., as Division III Shenandoah recorded a 48-7 win over Juniata.

Haley Van Voorhis—a safety for the victorious Hornets—entered the game with a little over a minute left in the first quarter, becoming the first female non-kicker to appear in a college football game at the NCAA or NAIA level. Van Voorhis appeared to hurry Eagles quarterback Calvin German into an incomplete pass on her first play.

Van Voorhis, a junior from The Plains, Va., played football in high school and was an honorable mention all-state selection in 2019.
