CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – New Hampshire senior quarterback Seth Morgan and University of New Haven junior kick returner Kha’lil Eason are this week’s recipients of the New England Football Writers Association Gold Helmet Awards presented by the Jack Grinold/Eastern Massachusetts Chapter of the National Football Foundation.
Morgan, a native of Pittsburgh, Pa., and a graduate of Mount Lebanon High School, in his first home start as a Wildcat (transfer in from D-II Shepherd College), tied a 20-year-old school record with six touchdown passes in UNH’s 45-6 victory against Stonehill. Morgan went 22 of 30 for 387 yards and had no turnovers. He completed passes to eight different receivers, threw scoring strikes to three separate targets, had two WRs eclipse the 100-yard mark all in just three quarters of play.
Eason, from Norwalk, Conn., and a graduate of Brunswick School, was electric in the kick return game for the Chargers this weekend. He set a new Chargers’ single game record as he racked up 231 kick return yards in a 47-17 win on the road over Pace University. Two of those returns were over 90 yards (94 & 96) and both were taken into the endzone for touchdowns. He averaged 57.8 yards per return.
For the tenth straight year, the Jack Grinold/Eastern Massachusetts Chapter of the National Football Foundation is the presenting sponsor for both the weekly and end-of-year Gold Helmet Awards presented to student-athletes from FBS, FCS, Division II and Division III institutions throughout New England.
The weekly Gold Helmet recipients will be honored at the New England Football Writers Captains and Awards Banquet presented by the Jack Grinold/Eastern Massachusetts of the National Football Foundation on Thursday, December 12, at the Sheraton Framingham Hotel & Conference Center.
