Minneapolis, Minn. (12/7/11) – The Kean University football team placed four student-athletes on this year's D3football.com All-East Region team as announced this week.

Seniors Ray Wegrzynek and Bekim Bujari were named second-team members on defense while senior Dave Vermeuel was awarded third-team honors on offense.  Senior Jamahl Williams rounded out the selections as a third-team member on defense.
