Malik Hamm's College Career:

To add more information, I'd recommend checking out Malik Hamm's biography on his GoLeopards.com page (link here). This comes directly from Lafayette College, which I believe is a primary source. Of note, I'd add three bits of information:

In addition to other honors already listed, Hamm "...earned All-Patriot League honors for the fifth time in his career, the only player in conference history to accomplish that feat (four first-team selections and one second-team selection)..."

After the 2022 season, Hamm was also named to the "...Associated Press FCS All-America Second Team..."

Finally, after the line about Hamm being Lafayette College's all-time sack leader I'd include that, "...appropriately the final play of the final game of his collegiate career was a game-ending sack of Lehigh's quarterback in a 14-11 win in #Rivalry158 on Nov. 19." I would then also link to the Wikipedia page for "The Rivalry" (link here).

Thanks for your considerations! 69.119.62.192 (talk) 02:48, 11 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
