Haley Van Voorhis becomes first female non-kicker to play in college football game
College football history was made Saturday, as Haley Van Voorhis became the first female non-kicker to appear in an NCAA game.
Van Voorhis, a junior safety for Division-III Shenandoah University, recorded a quarterback hurry in the first quarter of their 48-7 win over Juniata. She’s listed at 5-foot-6, 145 pounds on the team’s website.
Female athletes have appeared in college football games previously as kickers. In 2003, Katie Hnida became the first woman to score in a D-I game as the placekicker at New Mexico. In 2020, Sarah Fuller became the first woman to score in a Power 5 football game as the kicker for Vanderbilt.
Van Voorhis was a 2019 Football All-State Honorable Mention and a two-time basketball MVP in high school.
