HUNTINGDON, Pa.- Three Juniata football players were recognized by USA College Football on Wednesday. Senior running back Deonte Alston (Bel-Air, Md./Patterson Mill), junior linebacker Anton Morrow (Boiling Springs, Pa./Boling Springs), and senior cornerback Demetrius Floyd (Coraopolis, Pa./West Allegheny) all received Honorable Mentions.
In his final game as an Eagles running back, Alston carried the ball 16 times for a season-best 133 yards and a touchdown in Juniata's 24-17 loss to Susquehanna last Saturday. His 37-yard score in the third quarter was his longest of the season. He also had a 34-yard run earlier in the game.
Morrow tallied six tackles, a sack, two tackles for losses of seven yards, and a pass breakup for the Eagles against the Crusaders. Floyd tallied nine tackles with two going for losses of seven yards. He had a tackle for a loss of six yards that eventually forced a Susquehanna punt.
