WASHINGTON, Pa. - The Washington & Jefferson College Athletic Hall of Fame selection committee has announced six new members for induction as the Class of 2025. The group will become officially inducted into the hall of fame on Friday (Sept. 5) in a 6:00 p.m. ceremony on campus at the Rossin Ballroom. 

The 2025 hall of fame class features Alan Bradstock '86 (Men's Basketball), Jayson Hobbs '00 (Wrestling), John Macel '41 (Football -- Posthumous), Jennifer Marabella '13 (Field Hockey), Kevin Pintar '93 (Football), and David White '77 (Robert M. Murphy Award Winner). The 2025 inductee group is the 26^th class to be selected for induction into the W&J Athletic Hall of Fame. 

"Hall of Fame Weekend is always an enjoyable and memorable way to kick off the fall athletic season," said Assistant Dean of Students and Director of Athletics Scott McGuinness. "The 2025 class has some of the best athletes in our history and a group of alumni who have achieved outstanding success in their professional lives." 

The W&J athletic hall of fame selection committee includes: Don Murray '64 (Hall of Fame class of 2000), former Women's Basketball and Volleyball Coach Vicki Staton (Hall of Fame class of 2012), Associate Vice President Alumni Engagement and Development Operations Kerri Lacock '09, Head Women's Basketball Coach and Senior Woman Administrator Jina DeRubbo, Associate Director of Athletics and Head Athletic Trainer Mark Lesako, Head Football Coach Mike Sirianni, Assistant Director of Athletics for Operations Aaron Thompson, and Director of Athletics Scott McGuinness.  

Bradstock ranks 16^th in W&J men's basketball history with 1,219 points. A four-year letter winner and two-time All-Presidents' Athletic Conference selection, the 6-foot-5 center helped the Presidents reach the NCAA Division III Tournament for the first time in 1985. He averaged 16.0 points and 7.4 rebounds for the Presidents during that 18-6 season (11-1 as PAC Champions).  Bradstock finished his career as a 72.2 percent free throw shooter (231-320). 

Hobbs is one of 16 wrestlers in W&J history to claim at least three Presidents' Athletic Conference individual wrestling titles. As a sophomore, he claimed the 142-pound title before bumping up to the 149-pound class for his second title in 1999.  His three-year run as conference champion culminated during the 2000 championship as he moved up to 174 pounds and was selected as the PAC Most Outstanding Wrestler. Hobbs and his teammates won five individual titles at the 1999 championship to become just the fifth Presidents' team in history to capture a conference team championship. 

Macel was the Presidents' quarterback on the 1938, 1939, and 1940 football teams. Macel was nicknamed "Little Davie" after Texas Christian University renowned QB Davie O'Brien due to his passing prowess for the Presidents. A Langley High School graduate, Macel was selected to the 1940 Collegiate Sports Writer All-America Team. He was also an All-State selection as a senior after leading the Presidents to 14 victories as starting quarterback. 

Marabella is just the third W&J field hockey player selected to the W&J Athletic Hall of Fame, joining Amanda Howard '08 (2022) and Paige Fairbaugh '84 (2023). Marabella has remained as the Presidents' all-time leading goal scorer for 12 years after netting 59 goals from 2009-2012. In 2010, Marabella netted a single-season record 22 goals and was selected as the Empire 8 Conference Player of the Year. She also became the first All-American in W&J field hockey history, earning second-team laurels from the NFHCA. She was also the leading goal scorer on W&J's first E8 championship team (2011) which played in the program's first NCAA Tournament match. 

Pintar was a vital anchor on the W&J football offensive line during one of the most successful stretches in program history. A two-time First Team All-PAC selection, the tackle was honored on the 1992 Champion All-America Team after leading W&J to the NCAA Division III national championship game, the Stagg Bowl. Pintar helped the W&J offense establish the team season rushing record which still stands today 33 years later. The Presidents rushed for 3,519 yards in 1992, an average of 270.7 yards per game on the ground. 

The final member of the class of 2025 is White, a former W&J men's soccer player, who has been selected as the 2025 Robert M. Murphy Award winner. The Murphy Award is presented to W&J graduates who have made outstanding contributions or offered extraordinary service to athletics at W&J after graduation. White has been instrumental in the growth of W&J water polo which has culminated in the Presidents making their first appearance in the USA Water Polo Division III National Championship Tournament this spring. White has formed a multi-decade long relationship and home-and-home series between the W&J and Yale University water polo teams. White has also done extensive work to improve the poor economy and poor living conditions in the Gambia and has spearheaded efforts for W&J athletic team uniforms to be donated and delivered to youths in the African nation.
