Dear Alfred State Football,

If you had asked me four years ago what I wanted to do with my life after college, I would have told you I had no idea. But the moment I picked the camera back up and took photos of Alfred State Football on September 24, 2022, for Bandwagon, I didn’t know it then, but that day gave me a glimpse of the future.

2023 was the year everything started to fall into place. I decided to switch my major to Sport Management and completed my first full season working in the Athletic Department. I was able to capture a historic year, the exciting announcement that we would be transitioning into the Empire 8 in 2025, winning the ECFC Conference, and earning our first-ever NCAA DIII tournament appearance. I traveled to Ohio with the team to take on Mount Union. 

2024 brought another ECFC championship and NCAA DIII tournament appearance. I could feel the program growing, and I felt myself growing with it as I continued to help expand the original Bandwagon account to over 2,000 followers.

2025 was different. We all knew it would be a challenging season, finally in the Empire 8 with stronger competition. My senior year, with many players I’ve come to know and support over the past four seasons. Every game was bigger and more meaningful. All the excitement built toward one moment, the first Alfred Cup Football game. The battle for the Stoplight Trophy…

My time with Alfred State Football could not have come with a better ending… a 35-28 win over Alfred University!

As I look back on the past four years, I cannot thank the team, players, coaches, families, and fans enough for all the support and for letting me tell your story through my lens. Alfred State Football helped me fall in love with sports again, discover my passion, purpose, and future.📸🏈

Sincerely, 
Madisyn Herman💙💛
