INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. - The Great Midwest Athletic Conference (G-MAC) has announced the Hall of Fame Class of 2026. Two members are entering the G-MAC Hall of Fame, including Malone University football and track & field student-athlete Ashton Dulin. Dulin is joined in the Hall of Fame by Hillsdale College's Paige Hornak VanderWall. The inductees will be honored at the league's annual spring awards banquet on May 19 in Blue Ash, Ohio.

"We are excited to honor two extraordinary former G-MAC student-athletes in Ashton and Paige," said Great Midwest Commissioner Tom Daeger. "Ashton and Paige have each defined excellence in their own way, setting a standard that extends far beyond the field of play. The Great Midwest is honored to add to their list of accomplishments"

During his standout football career at Malone, Dulin established himself as one of the most electrifying playmakers in NCAA Division II. A Don Hansen Football All-American and D2Football.com All-American, he capped off a historic senior campaign in 2018 by earning G-MAC Offensive Player of the Year and Special Teams Player of the Year honors.
 
That season, Dulin started all 10 games and led the Pioneers in receptions (61), receiving yards (984), yards per catch (16.1), and receiving touchdowns (11). He was equally dangerous in the return game, totaling 836 kickoff return yards and leading all of NCAA Division II with three kickoff return touchdowns. His 1,947 all-purpose yards and 15 total touchdowns underscored his unmatched versatility, while his 194.7 all-purpose yards per game ranked second across all of Division II and led all wide receivers at any NCAA level.
 
Dulin recorded at least 100 all-purpose yards in every game of his senior season and scored a touchdown in eight contests, delivering explosive performances that included multiple three-touchdown games and a season-high 335 all-purpose yards against Alderson Broaddus University. His ability to impact the game in all three phases made him one of the most feared and respected players in the country.
 
Over the course of his career, Dulin rewrote the Malone record books, finishing as the program's all-time leader in receptions (189), receiving yards (3,188), all-purpose yards (5,455), and kickoff return touchdowns (3). He also ranks second in receiving touchdowns (28) and third in total touchdowns (34), cementing his place as one of the most accomplished players in school history.
 
Prior to his senior season, Dulin delivered back-to-back elite campaigns. In 2017, he totaled 1,712 all-purpose yards and 10 receiving touchdowns while averaging 17.8 yards per catch, earning First Team All-G-MAC honors. As a sophomore in 2016, he led the team in receiving categories and posted over 1,200 all-purpose yards, showcasing his emergence as a premier offensive weapon. Even as a freshman, Dulin made an immediate impact, highlighted by an 82-yard touchdown reception on his first collegiate touch.
 
Beyond the gridiron, Dulin was equally dominant in track and field. A multiple-time All-American, he excelled in hurdles, sprints, and jumps, earning G-MAC Track Athlete of the Year honors and setting conference and school records. His achievements included a top-five national finish in the 60-meter hurdles, conference titles across multiple events, and record-breaking performances in both indoor and outdoor competition.
 
Dulin's extraordinary athletic career propelled him to the professional level, where he earned an opportunity in the NFL and went on to continue his football journey with the Indianapolis Colts.
