EAST STROUDSBURG - East Stroudsburg University junior wide receiver Evan Prall has been named a First-Team Associated Press Little All-American, it was announced Thursday. In addition, junior quarterback Jimmy Terwilliger was named to the second team.
The Little All-America team is comprised of Division II and Division III and NAIA schools and voting is done by an AP panel.
Prall is the seventh ESU player to be chosen to the first-team. Safety Matt Crispell was a first-team selection last season. Terwilliger is the third Warrior to be chosen to the second-team. Jim Sodano was picked a second-team guard in 2001.
In all, 18 players have been chosen AP Little All-American.
Prall and Terwilliger both had record-breaking seasons and played key roles in leading ESU to the NCAA Division II semifinals. The Warriors won the Northeast Region and ended the season 11-3, the most wins in school history. They were ranked No. 5 in the final American Football Coaches Association poll.
Prall, a West Scranton graduate, set school records for receptions (88), yards (1,766) and touchdowns (23). He scored a touchdown in every game this season and has a streak of 15 straight games with a scoring reception, dating back to last year. He was second in NCAA Division II with 6.3 receptions per game and an average of 126.1 yards per game. He was a first-team All-Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference Eastern Division selection and was chosen to the first-team All-Northeast Region team. For his career, he has 2,919 yards and 33 touchdowns.
Terwilliger, who last week won the Harlon Hill trophy as the Division II player of the year, was the second-team quarterback, behind Tyler Emmert of Carroll College.
Terwilliger completed 262 of 424 passes this season for a school and conference record 4,571 yards and 50 touchdowns. This season, he set NCAA records for career 300-yard passing games (22), consecutive games with a touchdown pass (37), yards of career total offense (12,594), career games with 200 yards or more passing (35), season points by a quarterback (324) and career points by quarterback (744). Earlier this season, he became the seventh player in NCAA history to rush for 1,000 yards and pass for 10,000.
He was second in the country with a 186.1 passing efficiency and led the country with 354.3 yards of total offense per game.
