• Springfield College junior defensive lineman Tyler Sordillo, a 2023 graduate of Hull High, has earned multiple honors for his skills on the field. Sordillo been named the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) Football Defensive Athlete of the Week for the second time this season. He anchored the Springfield defense in a 24-10 NEWMAC victory at WPI on Friday, October 17. Sordillo was a disruptive force up front, recording four tackles, three sacks, a forced fumble, and a quarterback hurry to help Springfield remain unbeaten in conference play. His relentless pressure consistently collapsed the pocket and set the tone for a defensive unit that limited WPI to just 10 points in the road win. The second honor Sordillo received was being named to the D3football.com National Team of the Week.
