On Tuesday, June 18, Cole Denson '24 was named to the 2024 National Football Foundation & College Hall of Fame (NFF) Team of Distinction for his excellence on the football field, in the classroom, and in the community. Cole was one of 84 honorees, selected from a national pool of 3,500 eligible candidates.

All Team of Distinction members played their final season of high school football during the 2023-24 school year and were deemed the top overall standouts in academics, athletics, and community service in their respective regions. 

One of just 16 East Region winners, Cole was a Football team captain at RCDS, as well as a first-team all-state recipient, a member of the National Honor Society, and an AP Scholar. 

NFF Chairman and former NFL player Archie Manning describes the award as “one of the most prestigious national awards that a high school player can receive”.
