Seven Bulldogs Named To the 2013 All-CIAA Football Team

Two Voted to CIAA All-Rookie Team

Hampton, Va. – The Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA) announced their selections for the 2013 All-CIAA Football First and Second Teams. Seven Bowie State University football student-athletes were selected; senior offensive lineman Omar Fahnbulleh (Silver Spring, Md.), junior tight end Khari Lee (Baltimore, Md.) and junior place kicker Mario Diaz-Aviles (Washington, D.C.) were All-CIAA Offense First Team Offense selections. This marks the second time Lee has been named All-CIAA.

Junior offensive lineman Austin Hochman (Annapolis, Md.) was named to the All-CIAA Second Team along with junior running back Keith Brown (Temple Hills, Md.). Brown just finished up his best season in a Bulldogs uniform, setting a school single game rushing yards record with 230 versus Elizabeth City State and was the first BSU rusher to gain over 1,000 yards in a season since 2006.

Junior lineman Anthony McDaniel (Ft. Washington, Md.) was Bowie State’s lone first team pick on defense. Junior defensive back Curtis Pumphrey (Laurel, Md.) was a 2012 All-CIAA First Team choice, but was voted All-CIAA Second Team Defense in 2013.

Justin Nestor (Dayton, Md.) and Kevaugn Townsend (Ft. Washington, Md.) were also honored as members of the All-CIAA Rookie Team as selected by the conference Sports Information Directors.

The Bulldogs finished their season with a 5-5 overall record and 3-4 mark in CIAA competition.  Their record puts them at a third place finish in the CIAA Northern Division for the 2013 season.
