Twelve Earn All-Conference in Football
Twelve Muhlenberg players - six repeaters and six first-timers - were recognized on the All-Centennial Conference football team.
Senior quarterback Joe Repetti, senior guard Jack Kinerney and sophomore kick returner Christopher Short all made the first team. Senior wide receiver Christopher Ardito, junior running back Amari Dunn, senior tight end Matt McKenna, senior center Ryan Wreath and junior linebacker Peyton Elliott earned second team honors, while senior tackle Matthew Rockensies, senior wide receiver Timothy Buda, senior kicker Connor Fenstermaker and senior defensive tackle Keshon Davila received honorable mention.
FIRST TEAM
Repetti landed on the first team for the second consecutive season after earning honorable mention as a sophomore. A Mule quarterback has now received all-conference honors in nine of the last 10 seasons, with six first-team nods. Repetti leads the CC in passing yards (2,562), passing touchdowns (26), completion percentage (.649), efficiency rating (153.6) and total offense yards per game (301.9). In the Mules' final game of the regular season, he became the second quarterback in CC history to throw 100 career touchdown passes.
Kinerney was selected to the All-CC first team for the third consecutive season. He is only the fourth Muhlenberg offensive lineman to make the first team three times. The Mules' top lineman, he helped the offense average a CC-leading 37.5 points per game and 435.1 yards per game. Muhlenberg has allowed only 12 sacks all season.
Short emerged as the top return threat in the CC after missing his entire freshman season with injury. He averages 26.6 yards per kickoff return and is second in Division III with 930 yards on kickoff returns. The first Mule since 2016 to return two kickoffs for touchdowns in the same season, Short is Muhlenberg's first first-team kick returner since 2018.
SECOND TEAM
Ardito earned a spot on the All-CC second team for the second consecutive season. He leads Mule wide receivers in receptions (37), receiving yards (495) and receiving touchdowns (7), tying for fourth in the CC in the latter category.
Dunn received his first career All-CC nod. One of only two players in the CC to score 10 touchdowns in the regular season, Dunn has rushed for a team-leading 595 yards, surpassing the 1000-yard mark for his career.
McKenna also is a first-time all-conference honoree, giving Muhlenberg an All-CC tight end in 10 of the last 12 seasons. He leads all CC tight ends in receptions (40) and receiving yards (497), leading the Mules in both categories.
Wreath made the All-CC team for the third consecutive season. The Mules' starting center earned honorable mention as a sophomore and the second team each of the last two years.
Elliott was honored in his first season as a starter. He leads Muhlenberg with 63 total tackles, including 5 for loss, adding a pair of interceptions and a sack.
HONORABLE MENTION
Rockensies, a four-year starter at tackle, earned his first career All-CC nod. His selection gives the Mules three offensive linemen on the All-CC team for the fourth time in the last five seasons.
Buda received honorable mention for the second straight season. He is tied for third on the team with 31 receptions for 340 yards and 4 touchdowns.
Fenstermaker handled kickoffs all season and added placekicking duties midway through the year. He converted 34 of 36 extra points and added a pair of field goals, including a game-winning 29-yarder as time expired at Franklin & Marshall.
Davila earned a spot on the All-CC team for the fourth consecutive season after previously making the first team once and the second team twice. He joins John Feaster (2013-16) as the only Muhlenberg players to earn All-CC honors four years. Davila has recorded 27 tackles, including 5 for loss and 2½ sacks.
Muhlenberg finished the regular season with a 7-3 record and earned the CC's top seed in the Centennial-MAC Bowl Series. The Mules will host Widener on Saturday at noon, seeking to win a postseason game for the sixth consecutive season.
