Co-Offensive Players of the Year

Norwich sophomore quarterback Kris Sabourin is a threat both through the air and on the ground leading the Cadets with 23 touchdowns scored.

Sabourin, the ECFC co-Rookie of the Year a season ago, ranks third in the conference averaging 96.2 yards rushing and fourth with 102.5 yards passing.

 

Castleton quarterback Shane Brozowski is writing and re-writing the ECFC and Castleton record books. The sophomore ranks in the top five nationally in passing yards per game (339.1) and completions per game (27.2) while leading the conference in total touchdowns (28).

Brozowski, who passed for 400+ yards five times this season, orchestrated come-from-behind drives in the closing minutes to produce 3 of the Spartans 5 wins.

Defensive Player of the Year

Maritime sophomore linebacker Keith Barnes leads the conference in tackles with 10.6 per game for the Privateers. Barnes, who is ranked 8th nationally in solo tackles, was part of a Maritime defense that led the conference allowing just 260 yards per game and forcing 28 turnovers.


Special Teams Player of the Year

Norwich kicker Long Ding has made 39 of 42 PAT attempts and 4 of 7 field goals accounting for a league-leading 51 points.

The junior from Qing Dao, China converted a long field goal of 40 yards and kicked off 31 times with a 54.5 yard average including three touchbacks.

Rookie of the Year

Sophomore cornerback Tony Tatum was such strong presence on the field that led many teams to not throw his way. The rookie had three interceptions, one for a touchdown, and a fumble recovery.

Tatum was part of a highlight reel interception that went viral on the internet collecting nearly 2 million views.
