Updated Johns Hopkins Football Record Book | Johns Hopkins Football Seasonal Archives

BALTIMORE, MD - With its recent selection as the ECAC Division III Team of the Year, the 2016 Johns Hopkins football team officially added what is believed to be the final honor to its already impressive list of accomplishments. The Blue Jays posted an 11-1 record, won an unprecedented eighth consecutive Centennial Conference title, appeared in the NCAA Playoffs for the sixth straight year and spent the entire season ranked in the top 15 in the nation.

Along with the team success came a number of individual honors and awards; the Blue Jays also set numerous individual and team records under the direction of head coach Jim Margraff.

Here's a quick look at the highlights from the 2016 season:

We Are the Champions: Johns Hopkins won its eighth consecutive Centennial Conference title and its 12th overall CC crown. The eight straight titles break the previous Centennial record and Hopkins' 12 overall titles, which have all come since 2002, are also the most in league history.

Playoff Bound: With the Centennial Conference title came an automatic bid to the NCAA Playoffs. Hopkins made its sixth straight trip to the NCAAs, seventh in eight years and eighth overall. All eight appearances have some since 2005.

Record-Tying 11 Wins: Johns Hopkins had never won more than 10 games in a season prior to 2014, but for the third consecutive year the Blue Jays won 11 games and posted an 11-1 record.

Poll Position: Johns Hopkins ended the season ranked ninth in the nation by the AFCA and 11th by D3football.com. This is the third straight year that the Blue Jays have ended the season ranked in the top 10 by the AFCA and the fourth consecutive year that JHU has finished in the D3football.com top 15.

41 Straight: With a perfect 10-0 record in the regular season, Johns Hopkins extended its regular season winning streak to 41 games dating back to the end of the 2012 season.

37 Straight: With the perfect 9-0 Centennial Conference record this season, Johns Hopkins extended its league winning streak to 37 games dating back to late in the 2012 season. The 37-game run is the longest streak in league history and the longest active conference winning streak in all divisions of NCAA college football.

Seniors Depart with Quite a Resume: The seniors on the 2016 Johns Hopkins football team enjoyed, without question, the greatest four-year run in program history. The seniors helped Johns Hopkins to a 43-4 record, four consecutive Centennial Conference titles, four trips to the NCAA Playoffs, including three trips to the second round, and never lost a regular season game.

Margraff Notches 200th Career Victory: Jim Margraff became just the sixth active Division III head coach to reach 200 career victories when the Blue Jays topped Randolph-Macon, 42-21, in the first round of the NCAA Playoffs. Margraff, who now sports a career record of 200-85-3 (.700), is the winningest coach in Johns Hopkins and Maryland state history. In addition, his 145 Centennial Conference victories are the most in league history.
For his efforts this season, Margraff was named the AFCA Region 2 Coach of the Year and the Centennial Conference Coach of the Year.

It's All Academic: Seniors Jack Campbell and Jack Toner and sophomore Cameron Little were all named to the 2016 CoSIDA Academic All-America Football Team; Campbell and Toner earned a spot on the first team, while Little was a second team selection.
The three selections boost Johns Hopkins' all-time total to 28 football Academic All-Americans, including 18 since 2009.

More Academic: In addition to placing three players on the CoSIDA Academic All-America Team, Johns Hopkins had seven players named to the CoSIDA Academic All-District II Team. The seven selections give Johns Hopkins 27 in the last three years, which is seven more than the other nine Centennial Conference football teams combined during that time.

Fifth Straight Year with an All-American: Seniors Jack Toner (DB) and Chantz Anderson (OL-C) both earned All-America honors this season. Toner earned first team honors from the AFCA and third team from D3football.com, while Anderson was a third team pick by D3football.com as well.
With the selection of Toner and Anderson, Johns Hopkins has now produced at least one All-American in each of the last five years and six of the last seven and two or more in four of the last five seasons.

16 Earn All-Centennial: With its eighth straight Centennial title in hand and a perfect 9-0 league record this season, Johns Hopkins was well represented on the 2016 All-Centennial Conference Football Team.
Earning special honors were Jack Toner (Defensive Player of the Year), Jack Campbell (Scholar Athlete of the Year), Nick Campbell (All-Sportsmanship Team) and Jim Margraff (Coach of the Year), while 16 players also landed a spot on the All-Centennial team.

Germano, Munday, Donaldson Among Career Leaders: The 2017 Blue Jay offense will return four starting offensive linemen, a Second Team All-Centennial running back and three players who had more than 500 receiving yards this season - that's certainly a strong nucleus to build around.

That said, the departure of Jonathan Germano (QB), Bradley Munday (WR) and Quinn Donaldson (WR) is a welcome sight only by the opposing defensive coordinators in the Centennial Conference after the trio left their names throughout the Blue Jay record book.

Germano threw for a school-record 3,593 yards and 34 touchdowns this season and totaled more than 6,600 yards and 68 touchdown passes in just two seasons as the starting quarterback. He ranks among the top six in school history in every career passing category.

Munday and Donaldson became the first classmates in school history to reach 2,000 career receiving yards as they combined for exactly 400 receptions for 5,135 yards and 48 touchdowns in the last four years. Munday concluded his career among he top three in school history in receptions (1st/268), receiving yards (3rd/3,037) and touchdown receptions (T3rd/26), while Donaldson is in the top 10 in receptions (10th/132), receiving yards (10th/2,098) and touchdown receptions (T5th/22).

Toner Second in Interceptions: Selecting the top safety in school history would be no easy task; consider the last 20 years alone, when Harrison Bernstein (1996-99), Matt Campbell (2001-04), Michael Milano (2008-11) and Jack Toner (2013-16) have patrolled the back end of the defense. The four have combined to earn First Team All-Centennial honors 12 times with Toner adding the final three.

Toner tied the Johns Hopkins single-season record with eight interceptions this season and ends his career with 18 - a mark that is good enough for second place on JHU's career interception list.

The best safety among that group? Take your pick, but Toner certainly is in the conversation at what might be the strongest position at Johns Hopkins over the last two decades.

Topping the Century Mark, Again: Senior Jack Campbell led the team in tackles with 101 this season, a total that matches his output from 2015 and makes him the first Johns Hopkins player with 100 or more tackles in more than 20 years. Campbell finished his career with 280 tackles, the most by a Johns Hopkins player in more than 20 years as well.
