Former McNary offensive
lineman Kyle Bonn wrapped
up his career with the Wil-
lamette University football
team last fall, but earlier this
month, Bonn received rec-
ognition for his play on the
fi eld, as well as for his work
in the classroom.
Bonn was one of two
Willamette football players
to qualify for the Hampshire
Honor Society class of 2020,
which is sponsored by the
National Football Founda-
tion.
The Hampshire Honor
Society recognizes college
football players from all di-
visions who are seniors and
have maintained at least a
3.2 cumulative grade point
groundwork for the rebuild-
ing process at Willamette.
“Even though we didn’t
have a great record, there was
defi nitely improvement. I
got to see what coach Parker
built at McNary and I can’t
wait to see what he’s able to
do at Willamette,” Bonn said.
In the classroom, Bonn

grade-point-average was just
under 3.5 at the end of fall
semester.
Even with the spread of
COVID-19, Bonn has been
able to take online classes
through Willamette and still
expects to receive his degree
next month. After gradua-
tion, Bonn is planning on
pursuing his master’s degree
with the hopes of eventually
becoming a counselor.
But no matter what the
future holds, Bonn will al-
ways cherish his time as a
Willamette student-athlete.
“The student-athletes at
Willamette are their own
community. We go and
watch each other’s games
and competitions to show
our support for each oth-
er. We make sure that we’re
doing okay with our classes,
and if one team member has
taken the class before, they
are almost always open to
help if another team mem-
ber is struggling in the class.
As a student-athlete you al-
ways know you have a sup-
port network and that’s im-
portant,” Bonn said.

be refunded with a check in
the mail to the address listed
on the student’s Synergy ac-
count.
The district is asking for
patience as they work on is-
suing refunds as quickly as
possible. There currently is no
timetable as to when the par-
ents of student-athletes will
start receiving their refunds.
