| Lincoln University senior defensive end Tim Green #51,(Fanwood, N.J./Scotch Plains- Fanwood HS) continued to add to his list of honors as he was named to the USA College Football NCAA Division II Preseason All-American Team. |
The Lions, out of the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association, were in just about every game last year with four of their losses coming by 12 points or fewer. And they have some experience as seventeen starters are back from 2011, but they were picked to finish 11th in the 12 team CIAA.
The headlines for this team come from the defense, specifically from their wonderful senior defensive end Tim Green.
A 6’1″, 215-pound native of Fanwood, New Jersey, Green led all of Division II last season by averaging 1.50 sacks a game and that helped him become Lincoln’s first-ever Division II All-American. He also has been named to several preseason All-American teams this summer. Lincoln head coach O.J. Abanishe says Green’s dominance on the edge helps open things up for the rest of their defense.
