EDINBORO, PA – Edinboro University senior
Kyle Witucki (Tarentum, PA/Highlands) has been named to
Lindy’s College Football Preview 2007 Preseason
Division II All-American Team. Witucki was one of five players
from the PSAC to earn preseason All-American honors.
Witucki received plenty of recognition a year
ago in his first season as a starter. The 6’3”, 255 lb.
tight end was accorded second team Daktronics All-American honors
and was an honorable mention All-American choice by D2Football.com
and Football Gazette.
Witucki also earned first team All-PSAC West
honors after hauling in 31 passes for 455 yards with 5 TDs. He
caught at least one pass in all but one game, with two touchdown
receptions vs. Shippensburg. He had a career-best 5 catches for 80
yards and a touchdown against St. Anselm.
The senior enters his final campaign with 53
career receptions for 633 yards and 11 TDs. He is tied for eighth
in career touchdown receptions with 11, and needs ten catches to
set the school record for receptions by a tight end. That record
is currently held by C.J. Trivisonno.
While Edinboro, 6-5 a year ago, was not chosen
among Lindy’s Preseason Top 25, the list of top teams
in Division II definitely exhibits the strength of the Fighting
Scots’ schedule. Edinboro will play three of Lindy’s
top 11 teams in the first seven weeks of the season.
The Fighting Scots kick off their second season
under head coach Scott Browning against 11th-ranked West Chester
on Saturday, September 1. Two weeks later the Boro will play at
fifth-ranked Bloomsburg on September 15. The Huskies were 12-2 a
year ago, won the Northeast Region title and reached the Division
II semifinals. Finally, on October 13 the Fighting Scots renew
their rivalry with Indiana(Pa.) and former head coach Lou Tepper.
The Crimson Hawks are ranked tenth by Lindy’s.
