URI's Casey third-team All-America

University of Rhode Island fullback Joe Casey is on The Sports Network All-America third team. The junior from Syracuse, N.Y., is also the Colonial Athletic Association first-team fullback.

Casey rushed for 782 yards and two touchdowns in eight games last season. He missed the last three games because of a shoulder injury. A three-time first-team all-conference selection, Casey is tied for fourth with David Jamison on URI's career rushing list with 2,901 yards.

Five local players received honorable mention. They include Massachusetts quarterback Liam Coen (Newport/La Salle), New Hampshire quarterback Ricky Santos (Bellingham, Mass.), Villanova tight end Matt Sherry (Rumford/Bishop Hendricken) and Brown wide receivers Buddy Farnham and Paul Raymond.
