UMass Junior Punter Christian Koegel has been named the A10's Special Team Player-of-The-Year. The UMass writeup is here (it incorporates the A10's article, so I won't post a separate link).
Koegel should be a strong candidate for All-American status.

49 punts, 2108 yards, 43.0 ave, 60 longest, 2 TB, 18 I20, 0 Blkd

I'll also be blogging about the 1o UMass players that made All-A10. Since Blogger records posts when written, those will be located up in this blog.
