Walker Continues to Impress for Temple as a Freshman

Hugh Kirwan, Paul Sakowski, and Kevin Stark, Marist College: All three defensive players contributed to Marist’s 33-7 victory over Mercer on Saturday. The win gave Marist (8-3) a share of the Pioneer Football League Championship. Kirwan, a senior from Pascack Hills had five tackles in the game. Kirwan now has 35 tackles on the season and was a force in the middle of a strong defense. Kirwan’s teammate, Paul Sakowski, a Don Bosco Prep alumnus, also had five tackles in the win. He is now second on the team with 63 tackles and four sacks. Kevin Stark, a former DePaul Catholic standout had four tackles in the game as well. The senior defensive end has 23 tackles on the year. This North Jersey trio had fantastic senior campaigns and was part of a Marist defense that won eight of their last nine games. Marist will hear from the NCAA sometime this week to find out if they qualify for the FCS Tournament since they split the league title with Butler.

Tony Jones, University of Colorado: Redshirt Junior Tony Jones has been a steady contributor at running back for Colorado. Jones caught a 10-yard touchdown pass to help Colorado defeat California. 41-24 Saturday night. Jones, a Don Bosco alumnus, has contributed to the Buffaloes offense since starting a handful of games as a Redshirt Freshman.
