Shippensburg junior quarterback Zach Zulli won the 27th Harlon Hill trophy awarded this evening in a ceremony in Florence, Alabama. The trophy is awarded annually to the Division II player of the year. In his acceptance speech, Zulli humbly gave credit to his Shippensburg teammates, coaches, administrators, the Red Raider band, family, alumni and fans. His speech was very well thought out and delivered with class and professionalism.

Before speaking, Zulli acknowledged the other Finalists, Franklyn Quiteh and Michael Hill and prompted them to tell the story of how the three finalists "pranked" their hosts, who are notorious pranksters themselves. All three athletes represented themselves, their teams and Universities in the best possible way. All of their supporters can be very proud.

The PSAC was also well represented by former Kutztown great John Mobley who was inducted into the Division II Hall of Fame, along with Fort Valley State's Tyrone Poole.

As always, the Shoals National Championship Committee put on a wonderful evening for Division II football.

Now, it's time to get ready for some National Championship football!!
