On the recordMarch 8, 2022
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize a young man from my district for shining the national spotlight on Central College by shattering one of the most impressive NCAA records. Last season, Central College senior quarterback Blaine Hawkins set the new NCAA season record for the most touchdown passes with a total of 63 touchdowns over 13 games, leading the Dutch to an impressive 12-1 season record. Blaine has garnered national attention for setting the Division III career touchdown record, and he has won several awards, including Player of the Year, Conference Offensive MVP for both the 2019 and 2021 season, and has been named an Academic All-American for the 2018, 2020, and 2021 season. Congratulations to Blaine and the Central College Dutch for a fantastic season. I wish you all the best. ____________________
