Curry running back Montie Quinn and Delaware Valley defensive end Jacquez Mabin lead the D3football.com 2024 All-Region 1 team. Mabin was named Region 1 Defensive Player of the Year, while Quinn was named the Region 1 Offensive Player of the Year.
Springfield coach Mike Cerasuolo, who led the Pride to the NCAA quarterfinals for the first time since 2000, is the Region 1 Coach of the Year.
NCAA Division III realigned Division III football into six regions in 2021. Region 1 includes the Conference of New England, Eastern Collegiate Football Conference, Massachusetts State Collegiate Athletic Conference, Middle Atlantic Conference, New England Small College Athletic Conference, New England Women’s and Men’s Athletic Conference.
Mabin, a senior from Philadelphia, finished his season with 78 total tackles, including 23½ tackles for loss, 13 sacks, and six forced fumbles to help the Aggies finish 8-3 on the season. It’s the fourth time in five full seasons that a Delaware Valley defensive end has been named Region 1 (or East Region) Defensive Player of the Year.
Quinn, a junior from Goose Creek, South Carolina, ran for 1,618 yards and 13 touchdowns on 241 carries for the 4-6 Colonels, averaging 6.7 yards per carry. He went over 200 yards rushing on four separate occasions and finished his season with 272 yards and three touchdowns against Western New England.
The teams, selected in balloting by Region 1 sports information directors and D3football.com staff, were chosen from 232 nominations by full Division III member schools. A total of 76 players were chosen. Players nominated for All-Region are eligible to be considered for D3football.com All-America honors, which will be announced Thursday, Jan. 2, 2025.
