MORAVIAN JUNIOR CHRIS JACOUBS NAMED TO 2005 ECAC DIVISION III
SOUTHEAST ALL-STAR TEAM
CAPE COD, MA --- Junior running back Chris Jacoubs (Fair Haven, NJ/Rumson-Fair
Haven HS) of the Moravian College football team has been named to the 2005 Eastern
College Athletic Conference Division III Southeast All-Star First Team announced Friday.
Jacoubs helped the Greyhounds post a 7-4 record this season with a 5-4
slate in the Middle Atlantic Conference, which was good enough to tie for fourth place
after the Greyhounds were selected second in the MAC preseason poll. Moravian also won
the 2005 ECAC Southwest Bowl Championship with a 14-7 victory over Frostburg State (MD)
University.
In his third season, Jacoubs has rewritten the Moravian record books.
Jacoubs led Moravian with 1,014 yards and ten touchdowns on 228 carries this season. Jacoubs has
3,854 yards (first all-time at Moravian) in just 31 career games with 17 100-plus yard
games in 26 starts, including four games over 200 yards. Jacoubs became
the first player in school history to reach 3,000 rushing yards in a career against Susquehanna
University and the only player in school history to rush for 1,000 yards in back-to-back-to-back
seasons in 2003, 2004 and 2005. He is also first all-time with 216 points, 36 career touchdowns,
and 786 career rushing attempts.
Jacoubs, who was the MAC Rookie of the Year in 2003 and on the All-Middle
Atlantic Conference First Team the last two years, was on the ECAC Division III Southeast
All-Star First Team last season and the Rookie of the Year in 2003. Jacoubs was
also on the Don Hansen’s Football Gazette All-East Region Second Team last season.
