Edmonds Impresses at NFL Combine
Campus football legend Chase Edmonds, FCRH ‘18, took a strong step forward in his NFL pursuit. At the combine this past Friday, he stood atop the charts in both the three-cone drill (6.79) and 20-yard shuttle (4.07). Edmonds had a less-than-ideal senior season, as his performance was subdued by four games riding the pine due to injury. With that said, his professional candidacy will be judged by his 5,862 career rushing yards and 74 total touchdowns, both of which made Patriot League history. This performance just further proves that he can play with the big boys.
Kutch Earns Academic Honors
The A-10 Conference recently recognized Track and Field individuals who have excelled not only in competition but in the classroom. Sophomore Ryan Kutch was among those who made the cut. With a 3.0 GPA cutoff (on a 4.0 scale), he accumulated a 3.31 mark. Combine that with his outstanding performance in the winter, which included First Team All-Atlantic 10 recognition at the A-10 Championship and dual event scoring at Metros, and it is safe to say that Kutch has a bright future in the maroon and white.
Two WBB Players Achieve All-Conference
Women’s Basketball had much to be celebrated on Thursday morning, and not because of its stellar regular season. Two pieces of the team’s core, senior G’mrice Davis and freshman Bre Cavanaugh, earned All-Conference recognition for their efforts in helping the Rams to the A-10 Quarterfinals and a likely WNIT bid. Davis became the first A-10 Defensive Player of the Year in school history, while Cavanaugh took home All-Conference Second Team and All-Rookie accolades. Davis anchored Fordham’s top-20 scoring defense, while Cavanaugh became just the sixth freshman to record multiple 30-point performances in a single campaign.
Chartouny Named to All-Defensive Team
Men’s Basketball’s Joe Chartouny was awarded for his stellar defensive regular season, as he was given a spot on the Atlantic 10 All-Defensive team. The junior guard currently averages 3.32 steals per game, which leads the nation, and ranks third on Fordham’s all-time steals list, compiling 243 throughout his impressive career.
