WEST LONG BRANCH, N.J.-
Six Hawks were named to Phil Steele's 2011 Preseason All-Northeast
Conference teams, while senior safety Jose Gumbs (Queens, N.Y./Hebron) earned a
spot on the Preseason All-America Third Team.
Gumbs, who has led the team in tackles in each of the last three years, returns
for his final season with a wealth of preseason awards. Phil Steele, which produces a 240 page full
color magazine dedicated to just the Football Championship Subdivision, had
Gumbs as a First Team All-NEC and Third Team All-American Preseason
selection.
Joining Gumbs on the Preseason First Team All-League was rising junior Mike
Murphy (Toms River, N.J./Toms River East ), who has started the last two
seasons at left tackle. Fifth-year
senior linebacker Chris Mastrangelo (Randolph, N.J./Randolph), redshirt junior
offensive tackle Dino Molina (Gaithersburg, Md./Damascus) and sophomores Mitchell Pollard (Silver Spring,
Md./Springbrook) and Jimmy Lawson (Manchester, N.J./Manchester) were all
selected to the Phil Steele Preseason All-NEC squads. Pollard is the team's top returning wide receiver
while Lawson showed promise on the defensive line, where he finished second on
the team in sacks in 2010 as a true freshman.
Phil Steele's 2011 FCS Preview Magazine, which features a full page on every
Northeast Conference team, will be available in the first week of August and
can be ordered on http://www.philsteele.com/
