Cleveland, Ohio - Junior Edwin Gowins (Bellport, N.Y.), senior Paul Fenaroli (Monroe, Conn.), senior Arin West (Toms River, N.J.), junior Michael Coulter (Yorba Linda, Calif.) and sophomore Wesley Skiffington (Brandon, Fla.) were each honored by Phil Steele's College Football Review this week. Gowins, Fenaroli and West were named to the All-Big South first team while Coulter was chosen as a second-team selection. Skiffington was honored as a third-team All-American.
Gowins earned All-Big South first-team honors for a second straight season after leading the Seawolves in rushing. His 2,200 rushing yards already are fourth all-time at SBU despite starting just a single game. Gowins also is just four rushing touchdowns shy of breaking the school's all-time record, set by Bobby Kane in 1996.
Fenaroli has started 27 straight games at center and anchors a line that blocked for a rushing attack that ranked 30th in the nation and allowed just 1.36 sacks per game to rank among the top 24 in the nation. Fenaroli, who also earned All-Big South first-team honors in 2009, was named honorable mention for the Fabulous Fifty All-America Team by the College Sporting News.
West had an outstanding junior season as he also earned All-Big South honors after recording 80 tackles, three interceptions, three fumble recoveries and one forced fumble. He has played in 32 of 33 games, including 17 straight starts.
In his first year at Stony Brook, Coulter threw for over 2,000 yards and led the Big South with 15 touchdowns. He also was second in passing efficiency and one of just three Big South players to finish with over 2,000 yards of total offense. Coulter engineered three game-winning drives in the waning moments against Brown, VMI and Liberty.
