MINNEAPOLIS, MD –- The Johns Hopkins football team placed eight players on the 2022 D3football.com All-Region 2 Team it was announced today.  In addition to the eight selections, Johns Hopkins also produced the Region 2 Offensive Player of the Year in graduate student quarterback Ryan Stevens.
 
One Shy of a Record
The eight all-region selections for the Blue Jays this season are one shy of the program record of nine (2021).  Prior to 2021, the previous record for most all-region selections in one season was six (2011, 2015, 2018). For clarity, prior to the 2021 season there were four regions in Division III football and D3football.com selected an all-region team for each of the four.  Beginning with the 2021 season, the NCAA divided the nation into six regions for football, which reduced the number of teams in any one region.  Region 2 is comprised 43 programs representing the Centennial Conference, Empire 8, Liberty League, New Jersey Athletic Conference and Presidents' Athletic Conference.
 
Stevens Becomes JHU's First Offensive Player of the Year
Stevens further etched his name into the Blue Jay record book as he becomes the first Johns Hopkins player to be named D3football.com Regional Offensive Player of the Year.  Also a selection to the All-Region First Team, Stevens was 241-of 346 (.697) for 2,649 yards with 35 touchdowns against just five interceptions this season.  He also rushed for 224 yards and three touchdowns on the year.  Stevens' 35 touchdown passes tied the JHU single-season record, while his 241 completions (T5th), 346 attempts (8^th) and 2,649 yards (9^th) also rank in the top 10 in school history.  Stevens adds his all-region honors to previous Centennial Conference Offensive Player of the Year and First Team All-Centennial selection.
 
Schuermann, Woods Join Exclusive List
Junior defensive end Luke Schuermann and senior offensive lineman JR Woods both earned a spot on the All-Region First Team and, in the process, become just the fourth and fifth players in program history to twice earn first team honors.  Both were also previously named First Team All-Centennial and Schuermann grabbed his second straight Centennial Defensive Player of the Year award in 2022 as well.
 
Schuermann enjoyed another outstanding season on defense as he totaled 70 tackles, 26.5 tackles for loss and 14 sacks.  His 26.5 TFLs and 14 sacks are both Johns Hopkins single-season records and he currently ranks fourth in the nation in tackles for loss per game (2.4) and sixth in sacks per game (1.27).
 
From his spot at right tackle, Woods helped lead an offense that averaged 43.7 points and 499.4 yards per game.  For just the third time in school history, the Blue Jays rushed for more than 2,300 yards (2,375) and threw for more than 3,000 yards (3,118) in a single season.  In addition, in more than 400 pass attempts on the year, the Blue Jay offensive line allowed just 15 sacks.
 
Turner Makes History
In a program as accomplished as Johns Hopkins', it's difficult to achieve something that's never been done before, but that's exactly what graduate student Emmett Turner did as he earned First Team All-Region honors.  With his selection, Turner becomes the first tight end in school history to earn all-region.  Turner capped his career with 44 receptions for 323 yards and four touchdowns this season; the 44 receptions are the most ever by a Blue Jay tight end and he boosted his career totals to 109 receptions for 1,054 yards and seven touchdowns with his effort this season.
 
Seidel, Van Kouteren Join Schuermann as Defensive Honorees
Graduate students Nick Seidel (DB) and Duncan Van Kouteren (LB) rounded out Johns Hopkins' three all-region selections on defense as Seidel grabbed first team honors while Van Kouteren earned a spot on the third team.
 
Seidel posted 44 tackles, a team-leading six interceptions, 5.5 tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks and four pass breakups on the year.  He earned First Team All-Centennial honors this season and caps his career with 225 tackles, 16.5 tackles for loss, 13 interceptions and 10 pass breakups to his credit.  His 13 interceptions are tied for sixth in school history.
 
Van Kouteren paced the Blue Jays with a career and team high 81 tackles, including 6.5 for loss, in 2022.  He added five pass breakups and one interception and led a Blue Jay defense that was particularly strong against the run as JHU allowed just 73.0 yards per game on the ground.  Van Kouteren adds his all-region nod to his earlier First Team All-Centennial selection.

Revere, Brophy Earn Second Team Honors
Graduate student wide receiver Quinn Revere and sophomore offensive lineman Garrett Brophy round out Johns Hopkins' eight all-region selection as both earned second team honors.
 
Revere capped his career with another strong season as he totaled 53 receptions for 673 yards and 13 touchdowns in 2022.  He led the team in touchdown receptions and ranked second in receptions and receiving yards.  His 13 touchdown receptions are tied for the third most in a single season in school history and are currently tied for eighth in the nation.
 
Brophy continues to build on his impressive resume through two seasons at Johns Hopkins.  Brophy, who plays guard, is the only sophomore offensive lineman in Region 2, and one of just seven nationwide, to earn first or second team honors.  He adds this to his previous First Team All-Centennial Conference selection after helping lead a Blue Jay offense that averaged 43.7 points and 499.4 yards per game.
