WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. – Senior Austin Rowley (Schwenksville, Pa./Perkiomen Valley) became the first Lycoming College football player to earn all-conference honors at three different positions to highlight a group of seven Lycoming players that earned a spot on the All-Middle Atlantic Conference team, the conference office in Annville, Pa., announced on Wednesday, Nov. 16.
 
Rowley earned first-team accolades as a defensive back, second-team honors as a special teams player and honorable mention plaudits for his work as a returner. Senior offensive lineman Dan Jennings (Allentown, Pa./Salisbury Township) and junior Ian Plankenhorn (Montoursville, Pa./Montoursville Area) each earned first-team accolades, senior Cole Senior (Middletown, Pa./Middletown Area) was a second-team pick as a linebacker and senior Aaron Wolcott (Lewes, Del./Century (Md.)) was an honorable mention selection at tight end.
 
Rowley was indispensable as a defensive back and on both kick return offense and defense, as well as serving as the team's punt returner. The senior finished second on the team with 67 tackles, fourth in the conference with 4.4 solo tackles per game, and second in the league with four interceptions. Plus, he also recovered a fumble to tie for the team lead with five takeaways and he added four tackles for loss and three pass breakups. He was named MAC Defensive Player of the Week after notching a pair of interceptions against Alvernia. On top of that, Rowley led the MAC with an average of 11.0 yards per punt return.
 
Jennings earned his second straight All-MAC selection, jumping from honorable mention in 2021 to first team in 2022. Moving into the starting center position, Jennings helped the Warriors average 232.2 yards of offense per game.
 
Plankenhorn earned his second straight First Team All-MAC honors, as the junior finished second in the conference by hitting six field goals. He averaged 57.7 yards on kickoffs, including 12 touchbacks and giving opponents an average drive start at their own 26-yard line, four yards better than opponents.
 
Senior, a first-team all-conference linebacker in 2021, earned his second all-conference honors after posting 60 tackles to go with 5.5 tackles for loss and four sacks, the second-most on the team. He also forced a fumble.
 
Wolcott developed into one of the team's top threats in the receiving game, posting career-highs of 17 receptions for 184 yards and three touchdowns to earn his first all-conference accolades. He was a College Sports Communicators Academic All-District pick in 2020.
 
The Warriors finished 4-6 overall and 3.5 in the MAC under 15^th-year head coach Mike Clark. Lycoming ends a 65-year association with the MAC and will join the newly-formed Landmark Conference for football in 2023, rejoining historical MAC rivals Susquehanna, Juniata, Moravian and Wilkes.
