Tuesday, December 2, 2014
by Cody Bush, PFL Media Relations SAINT LOUIS, Mo. – Fifty-eight student athletes have been named to the 22nd version of the All-Pioneer Football League squads. All selections were made by the league’s coaches, who were not permitted to vote for their own student-athletes.
Drake redshirt senior defensive lineman Matt Acree was the lone unanimous (i.e., received all 10 possible first-team votes) selection to the All-PFL teams. In addition, three student-athletes to earned their second First-Team All-PFL honor – Jacksonville senior wide receiver Andrew Robistelli, Stetson sophomore defensive back Donald Payne and Marist redshirt senior linebacker Paul Sakowski.
Ten of the 11 league members had at least one student-athlete named First-Team All-PFL, league-champion San Diego leading the way with six first-team honorees. The Toreros also led the league with 11 student-athletes named to both the league’s first and second teams.
In addition to the 58 student-athletes recognized on the league’s first and second teams, 74 student-athletes received honorable mention recognition.
The Academic All-PFL team, highlighted by the league’s first Scholar-Athlete of the Year, will be released Wednesday, concluding the league’s awards week.
