Ever wonder how many area players are currently in college football and where they are now?

We now have the answer.

Out of curiosity during some down time this past week, I was curious to find out. After rattling through NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision (Division I) programs, it didn't seem too difficult to scroll through rosters and look further into it. So then came the Football Championship Subdivision (I-AA). Then Division II. And then Division III.

This master list of college football players from News-Herald area schools is below for your perusal.

Before scrolling through the list, just a few caveats:

1. Players should be included as long as their college's roster specifies a hometown and school from The News-Herald coverage area, and as long as they were on their college's roster page this past week.
2. A handful of players are included who are originally from an area school but finished their careers at another school.
3. In the cases of an area native who played their high school football for a school outside the N-H area, they are NOT included.
4. A capital R before a player's year specifies a redshirt.

So if you ever wanted to know where players from recent years are plying their trade - whether it's familiar names from the N-H school you follow or the N-H schools your team takes on - they should be accounted for here.
