Hero Sports Release

HAMILTON – A season that began on the sidelines for first-year offensive lineman Jayvion Queen ended with a spot on the 2018 Hero Sports Freshman All-America Team.
 
Queen stepped in early for injured All-Patriot League First Team lineman Jovaun Woolford, who was lost for the season Sept. 1 against Holy Cross. The Raiders barely missed a beat, leading the Patriot League in rushing at 190.6 per game.
 
Queen's Freshman All-America selection makes it five offensive line starters out of five this year to win some type of postseason honor. Scott Hirshman, Max Hartzman and Jack Badovinac were named All-Patriot League First Team, and Charlie Holsopple was a Second Team selection. Hirshman last week was named All-ECAC.
 
The first collegiate start for Queen came Sept. 8 at No. 20 New Hampshire, a 10-3 Colgate victory that was the springboard to nine straight victories and a Patriot League championship. Colgate's 10th victory of the season came in a 23-20 NCAA second-round playoff game over No. 6 James Madison.
 
An Altoona, Pennsylvania native, Queen played in all 12 games this season with 11 starts.
 
Postseason production through the FCS semifinals was taken into account for the Freshman All-America Team.
 
Queen is the second Colgate Raider on the Hero Sports Freshman All-America Team in the last three years, joining Abu Daramy-Swaray in 2016.
