The PSAC will be represented by two athletes in this year's presentation of the Harlon Hill Trophy. Shippensburg's Zach Zulli and Bloomsburg's Franklyn Quiteh will be joined by Missouri Western's Michael Hill as the top three nominees for the Division II College Football Player of the Year.

Zulli, the PSAC East Offensive Player of the Year, threw for 4,747 yards and 54 touchdowns (ties the D2 record) and completed 62 percent of his passes. Zulli led the Red Raiders to the PSAC East Championship and the second round of Division II playoffs. Sparked by Zulli's outstanding performance, Shippensburg broke dozens of school records during the 2012 season.

Hill, a running back from Missouri Western University is the MIAA Offensive Player of the year. Hill has rushed for 2,065 yards and 16 touchdowns, while averaging 7.32 yards per carry and 176 yards perr game. Hill's Griffons won the MIAA Championship and have advanced to the Division II Quarterfinals.

Quiteh is a Harlon Hill finalist for the second time in his career (finished sixth in 2010). Quiteh led the nation in total rushing and yads per game for most of the 2012 campaign. He rushed for 2,121 yards and 24 touchdowns, averaging 7.4 yards per carry. Quiteh has rushed for 5,328 yards in his career and is less than 400 yards from breaking the school and PSAC career rushing record. Quiteh will be a senior in 2013. Bloomsburg finished 10-2 this season and advanced to the playoffs.


*This is the second time that two PSAC players have reached the top three. In 2005, East Stroudsburg's Jimmy Terwilliger won the award and Bloomsburg's Jamar Brittingham finished third.* Quiteh is the third Bloomsburg player to reach top three. In addition to Brittingham, Irvin Sigler won the award in 1997.*
