2016 Postseason Honors
By: CSFL Staff | Collegiate Sprint Football League | November 21, 2016
Penn quarterback Mike McCurdy was named the 2016 CSFL Player of the Year, taking home the Kay Trophy as the league’s top performer for the second consecutive season. Chestnut Hill quarterback Michael Marino was named the Freshman of the Year to highlight the All-CSFL team that was announced Nov. 21.
The league’s head coaches nominate and select the All-CSFL team each season. The All-CSFL team, which is linked above and listed below, includes 117 players from eight different schools.
Penn went undefeated to claim the 2016 league title, marking the first unbeaten season for the program since 2000 and just the second ever undefeated year for the program. That effort led the Quakers to a total of eight first team All-CSFL selections and 20 total players being named to the All-League team.
McCurdy spearheaded that list with his second straight Player of the Year honor, but his first outright after he split the award with Army’s Philip Choi in 2015. The senior became the all-time passing leader in program history at Penn this year while leading his team to a 7-0 record. McCurdy led the league in total offense with 1,806 yards for an average of 258.0 yards per game. His 1,740 passing yards were more than 600 better than any other QB in the league and his 248.6 passing yards per game were nearly 100 yards better on average than the next best numbers in the league. McCurdy completed 96-of-179 passes for 1,740 yards with 17 touchdowns and only two interceptions on the season. He also rushed for 66 yards and two more scores to account for 19 touchdowns on the year.
The newly added honor of Freshman of the Year went to Michael Marino, who quarterbacked Chestnut Hill through its first official season of league play and just the second ever season of sprint football for the Griffins. The true freshman completed 86-of-195 passes for 1,044 yards with seven touchdowns and six interceptions. He also rushed for 57 yards and one score and led Chestnut Hill to two wins. Marino was named to Honorable Mention All-League honors.
Four players in the league were named to All-CSFL honors at multiple positions, including two that were honored with a pair of first team nods. Navy running back Brendon Clements earned first team honors at running back and at the all-purpose position and Chestnut Hill wide receiver Raevon Floyd-Bennett was named to first team accolades at running back and kick returner.
Post wide receiver Jarrick Sharp was named to second team honors as a wideout and a kick returner and Penn linebacker Tom Console was named to second team honors on defense and at the all-purpose position on offense.
All eight teams in the league have at least one first team honoree on the All-CSFL squad.
