EDINBORO, PA – Edinboro University senior
Kyle Witucki (Tarentum, PA/Highlands) has been named to
the D2Football.com Pre-Season All-American Team. Witucki was named
to the second team at tight end. It marks his second pre-season
honors, after previously being recognized by Lindy’s
College Football Preview 2007 Preseason Division II
All-American Team. He was named to Lindy’s second
team, as well.
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.
The Fighting Scots kick off their second season
under head coach Scott Browning against West Chester on Saturday,
September 1. The Golden Rams, 9-4 a year ago, were picked 17th in
the D2Football.com Pre-Season Top 25.
In addition to West Chester, the Fighting Scots
will also face 11th-ranked Bloomsburg and 21st-ranked
California(Pa.)
