EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ - Former Hartwick quarterback Jason Boltus (Baldwinsville, NY) got some unexpected hardware on Tuesday night at the ECAC Football Banquet held at the Pegasus Restaurant at the Meadowlands Sports Complex in East Rutherford, NJ. Boltus, attending the banquet to accept his award for the ECAC Division III Northwest Player of the Year, was also named the ECAC Division III Player of the Year which was selected from the four regional winners.

Boltus was selected from a pool that included Northeast Player of the Year Eric McGrath (Sr., QB, Trinity), Southeast Player of the Year Durrell Dukes (Sr. WR, Kean), and Southwest Player of the Year Bobby Swallow (Sr., QB, Washington & Jefferson).
