Dukes garner 2 of the top 5 NEC awards & 7 make All-NEC 1st team

The Dukes' football team had a very good season, and the abundance of individual awards demonstrates the quality of the players who were on the team.  Congratulations to freshman AJ Hines for being the NEC Rookie of the Year (no surprise since he won the Rookie of the Week award 10 times) and was named as one of the two running backs on the All-NEC 1st team (only freshman on the All-NEC 1st team).

Senior Christian Kuntz was named Defensive Player of the Year and a member of the All-NEC 1st defensive team.  

Other Dukes on the All -NEC offensive 1st team include: seniors QB Dillon Buechel, WR Wayne Capers; grad. student WR Blair Roberts; junior OL Ben Huss and freshman RB AJ Hines.

Dukes who made the All-NEC defensive 1st team include: senior Christian Kuntz; and junior LB Nathan Stone.

Only St Francis (8) exceeded the Dukes (7) in players named to the 1st team.

The Dukes also landed 6 players on the All-NEC 2nd team, including:  senior OL Larson Graham, sophomore OL Matt Fitzpatrick, senior DL Jake Radziukinas, senior P Austin Crimsons,  junior DL Andy Struttmann, and sophomore DB Abner Roberts.

Congratulations to all of the NEC honorees!
