Hempel, a junior, helped Harvard finish 9-1 overall and 6-1 in the Ivy League by completing 157 of 238 passes for 1,866 yards and 15 touchdowns in only eight games (he missed two midway through the season due to injury).
His 233.0 yards per game passing ranked third in the Ivy League. He also ran 98 times for 259 yards and five TDs. His 66.0 completion percentage was the third-best in a single season in school history and his passing tied for the ninth-most in a season.
He finished the season by completing 19 of 26 passes for 209 yards and two touchdowns and rushing for 57 yards on 10 carries in a 34-7 win over rival Yale this past Saturday, which earned Harvard a share of the Ivy League championship.
It was the 250th Ivy League win for Harvard, making it the first team in the league to reach that number.
