BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -- The Washington & Jefferson College football team was ranked No. 13 by
Lindy's Sports annual National 2021 College Football Preview Magazine.
Lindy's mentioned that "Wide receiver
Andrew Wolf back from injury, grabbed 32 passes for five TDs in the spring".
Playing without several key contributors, W&J finished an abbreviated spring 2021 season with a 3-1 overall record. The Presidents compiled an 8-3 overall mark in the last full season in the fall of 2019. W&J finished that campaign with a 20-17 win at Ithaca College in the ECAC Asa S. Bushnell Bowl.
Fifteen Presidents earned All-PAC recognition this past spring. Six players earned First Team honors. Those included sophomore offensive lineman
Angelo Fratini (Burgettstown, Pa./Burgettstown), sophomore h-back/tight end
Johnny O'Rourke (Pittsburgh, Pa./Pittsburgh Central Catholic), junior wide receiver
Andrew Wolf (Ashland, Ohio/Hillsdale), senior defensive lineman
Keith Knowell (McKeesport, Pa./McKeesport), senior linebacker
Sean Doran (New Castle, Pa./Neshannock) and junior defensive back
Drew Ehrlich (Annapolis, Md./Gilman School). Each player that received All-PAC status is expected to return for the fall.
Mount Union, Wisconsin-Whitewater, North Central, Mary Hardin-Baylor and Delaware Valley made up
Lindy's top five. Fellow Presidents' Athletic Conference rival Westminster was slotted one spot ahead of W&J at No. 12.
Case Western Reserve, who claimed the PAC title in 2019, went unranked in the Top 25 after not competing during the 2020-21 academic year.
W&J enters the fall with 37 consecutive winning seasons and an all-time record of 755-396-40.
