2006 Don Hansen Football Gazette All-America Team
UNIVERSITY OF RICHMOND, Va. - Senior Adam Goloboski and junior Sherman Logan were both part of Don Hansen's Football Gazette Preseason All-America squad, officials announced July 26. The honors are the second for both players after earning IAA.org Preseason All-America honors earlier this month. Goloboski was part of the Second Team at linebacker, while Logan was an Honorable Mention at defensive end according to the Football Gazette's list.
Goloboski, a First Team All-Atlantic 10 Linebacker and Sports Xchange Second Team All-America selection in 2005, led the Spiders with 131 tackles last season which ranked ninth on the Spiders' all-time single-season list. His three-year total of 298 stops places him 25 tackles outside of the Spiders' top-10 list for career tackles. The Hereford, Md., native averaged 10.9 tackles per game which ranked 11th in the country and second in the A-10 behind Villanova's Brian Hulea.
Logan, who was named the Atlantic 10 Defensive Rookie of the Year and a First Team All-Atlantic 10 selection last season, led the A-10 with 11 individual pass sacks for 69 yards. His average of 0.88 sacks per game led the Atlantic 10 and ranked eighth in the country. Logan also led the team with 13.5 tackles-for-loss and made a total of 54 stops on the season. As a unit the Spiders' defense recorded 41 sacks which lead the league and were the most since Richmond recorded 59 sacks in 1997.
All four Preseason All-America honors mark the first for the Spider football program since Maurice Glenn and Uly Scott were honored prior to the 1994 season. The defending Atlantic 10 Champion Spiders kickoff their 2006 campaign against Duke in Durham, N.C., Saturday, Sept. 2 at 6 p.m.
