2014 D3football.com All-America Team

BALTIMORE, MD - The honors continue to roll in for Johns Hopkins junior guard Colin Egan, who has been named a First Team D3football.com All-American it was recently announced. Egan, who is making his first appearance on an All-America team, was the lone returning starter on the Johns Hopkins offensive line this season and led a group that became a team strength as the season progressed.

Egan had previously earned First Team D3football.com All-South Region, First Team All-Centennial Conference and First Team CoSIDA/Capital One Academic All-District honors. He is one of just three non-seniors named to the D3football.com All-America first team on offense and is the latest in a long line of All-America offensive linemen Johns Hopkins has developed. Egan's selection marks the third straight year and the fourth year in the last five that Hopkins has produced at least one All-American from the offensive line. He is just the third offensive lineman in school history to earn first team honors, joining Ben Cranston (2013) and Armand Jenifer (2012, 2013).

With Egan leading the way, the Johns Hopkins offense averaged 37.2 points and 434.4 yards per game. The Blue Jays scored at least 21 points in all 12 of their games this season, averaged 6.0 yards per play and totaled more than 25 touchdowns rushing (34) and passing (27) for just the second time in school history. In addition, the Johns Hopkins offensive line allowed just seven sacks in 12 games.

Johns Hopkins, which finished the season ranked 10th by both the AFCA and D3football.com, posted an 11-1 record, won a sixth straight Centennial Conference title and advanced to the NCAA Playoffs for the fourth consecutive season in 2014. The 11 wins the Blue Jays amassed are a school record and Hopkins advanced to the second round of the NCAAs for the second time in three years.
