Dickinson junior RB Cedric Madden (Norristown, Pa.) became the first Red Devil to rush for over 1,000 yards since Alex Plomaritis in 1992 with his 270-yard effort vs. Ursinus. He closed the regular season as the Centennial leader in rushing (1,165) and all-purpose yardage (1,468). Senior QB Cole Ahnell (Rockville, Md.) closed his career second on the school career pssing (3,851) and total offense (5,581) charts and finished fourth on the Centennial career rushing list for QBs (1,720). Dickinson finished under .500 for the fifth straight season. Junior DB Jake Myers (Middletown, Del.) led the defense with 70 tackles, while S Teddy Airoldi (Bethlehem, Pa.) added 69 stops.

He is one of 15 receivers in CC history to amass over 2,500 receiving yards (2,517). Zackery also led the Conference in kick return average (25.5). The Diplomats finished with their third consecutive .500 or better record – the first time that has been accomplished in Lancaster since 1991-92-93.

Senior QB Braden Anderson (Great Falls, Va.) has had a hand in 29 of JHU's 55 touchdowns this season (20 pass, 9 rush). The three-man RB rotation of junior Brandon Cherry (Parkville, Md.) and sophomores Stuart Walters (Charleston, S.C.) and Dionisio Roman (Frenchtown, N.J.) has combined for 1,387 yards and 20 TDs on 277 carries.
