Colonels' defensive end Parrish Rogers-Reed, Endicott College wide receiver Nate Lewis, and MIT offensive lineman Elliott Tobin and running back Justin Wallace were first team picks. Each player, with the exception of sophomore Tobin, is a senior.
The NEFC had two second team picks, five third team selections and eight honrable mentions, including Colonels' sophomore fullback Dave DiGiorgi. In addition three NEFC student-athletes, Jacob Doolan of Maine Maritime Academy, Mitch Turley from MIT, and Curry's Devin Williams were named to the All-Freshmen Team.
