177

SETON HILL- The defense returns seven starters, including six of the front seven from last season for DC Kevin May. May recently was featured in an article on ESPN. com that featured his “flex” defense.

CLARION- The Golden Eagles welcome back 16 total starters – eight on defense, six on offense and two on special teams – to the fold in 2024.

MILLERSVILLE- Jaheim Morris is the engine to Millersville’s offense. In 2022, he was named All-PSAC East Second Team with 822 yards and seven rushing touchdowns for the most yards by a Marauder since 2013 and the most touchdowns since 2010. Last season, Morris became the first Marauder running back since 2000 to be named All-PSAC East in back-to-back seasons.

EAST STROUDSBURG- East Stroudsburg looks to take another step after a 9-3 season in 2023, reaching the NCAA Playoffs for the first time since 2009. Led by a stingy defense and a balanced offense, the Warriors return 16 starters from last season and plenty of contributors. Five All-PSAC East honorees return, including first team tackle Tim Kinney, and second team selections Tyriq Lewis (TB), Raymond Christas (C), John Siggins (WR) and Justin Cook (RS).

EDINBORO- Edinboro returns All-Conference and 2022 All-American punter Reed Martin. Martin ranked third in the PSAC in punting average at 40.1 yards. The Scot coverage team backed that up as the leagues top punt return coverage team in the conference and 10th best in the nation at 2.70 yards per return. The Scots also led the PSAC in net punting at 37.96 yards per punt.
