The team's twenty-two seniors were individually acknowledged and thanked for their part in creating one of the greatest legacies in the college's sports history. On behalf of the team, senior captain Bo Henderson, a linebacker, presented the game ball from the team's final game 41-17 win over Georgetown to Director of Athletics Jim Murphy. It will be permanently displayed in the Hall of Fame Room in Baker Sports Complex. Senior tight end Marcus McFadden looks on in the background.
