WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. – Lycoming football senior defensive tackle Mike Kozak (Drexel Hill, Pa./Monsignor Bonner) was named to the D3football.com All-East Region Team for his exploits on the gridiron during the past season.

Undoubtedly the emotional leader no matter the side of the ball,

He played his best ball of the season in the penultimate game at Albright College.  With the momentum shifted heavily in the Lions’ favor, Kozak recovered his own forced fumbled of an Albright runner in the second half that reenergized the Warriors as they moved on towards victory.  Not only did Kozak lead the squad with 13 total tackles against the Lions, but he did so with the Warriors playing a three-man defensive front for the first time in the season.  The senior captain capped his final year in blue and gold with 54 total tackles, 12 stops for a loss including 2.5 sacks, forced two fumbles, and one recovery.

For his career, Kozak made 98 total stops with 54 coming unassisted.  He recorded 24 tackles behind the line of scrimmage resulting in 66 yards lost for the opponent.  He harassed quarterbacks for seven sacks with six of the solo variety.  Kozak forced a pair of fumbles, recovered one other, and batted down five passes.
