QUILES EARNS D2FOOTBALL.COM ALL-AMERICA HONORS

 

KUTZTOWN, PA - Kutztown University wide receiver Elfren Quiles (sr. New
Britain, Conn./New Britain) has added another honor to his already full
resume.  

 

            Quiles was named to second-team All-America honors by
d2football.com.  Teammate Brian Bingnear (sr. Boothwyn/Chichester) received
honorable mention.  

 

            Quiles led the Golden Bears with 64 receptions for 1,187 yards
and eight touchdowns on the year. Quiles also ranked highly on the national
level, as he ended his senior season averaging 118.7 yards a game, good for
second in Division II, and averaged 6.4 catches a game, ranking him 16th in
the nation.

            His prowess on the field earned him an invitation to the 2008
Cactus Bowl, a Division II all-star game.  Also this season, Quiles was
named to third-team Associated Press Little All-America, first-team
Daktronics and Football Gazette All-Northeast Region, and first-team
All-Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference Eastern Division honors.

            Quiles was also a third-team All-America selection as a freshman
while at Merrimack in 2004.  He transferred to Kutztown prior to the 2006
season and amassed 2,003 receiving yards in two seasons - fourth on KU's
career list.  His 43 TD catches (9th), 4,136 career receiving yards (11th)
and 252 receptions (13th) all rank among the all-time Division II leaders. 

            This season, Bingnear led the PSAC in tackles with 118 total and
71 solo. He averaged 10.7 tackles per game and had four interceptions and
five pass breakups.  

            The D2Football.com All-America Team was selected by the staff of
D2Football.com with input from coaches and sports information directors from
around the country.
