MONMOUTH, Ill. —
Monmouth College
junior offensive lineman Josh Kotecki (Peru, Ill./LaSalle-Peru) has
been named All-American by D3football.com after the most successful
season in Fighting Scots history.
Named to the
second team, Kotecki helped the Scots to an 11-1 season which
included Monmouth’s second league title and NCAA playoff berth since
2005. Monmouth hosted and won their first playoff game in school
history and set the team record for most wins in a season (11).
A 6-foot-1, 245
pound offensive guard, Kotecki helped the Scots win the national
scoring title, averaging 46.75 points per game. The team also had
top 10 national rankings in three other offensive categories: fifth
in pass efficiency (166.98), seventh in total offense (460.58 ypg)
and eighth in passing offense (315.83 ypg). Sixteen different
receivers caught passes this season and four had more than 400
receiving yards each.
The Scots’
offensive line allowed Monmouth quarterbacks enough time to pass for
a school-record 3,790 yards while the ground game picked up more
than 2,000 yards with 12 different backs getting carries. The team
also scored a school-record 50 touchdowns via the pass and added
another 25 rushing TDs. The Scots set or tied 71 team and individual
records during the 2008 campaign.
Kotecki earned
first All-American honor and earlier this season was named to the
D3football.com All-West Region first team.
