Coaches name 2008 permanent captains
August 25, 2008
Faulkner head coach Jim Nichols and his coaching staff announced the permanent captains for the 2008 season on Monday. Redshirt sophomore quarterback Philip Moore and senior offensive lineman Blake Fenn were the offensive selections, while returning linebackers Sean Thom and Jason Evans, both juniors, will serve as the team’s defensive captains. Redshirt sophomore Frank Chinoski will serve as captain on special teams.
Thom and Evans both helped spearhead the Eagles’ defense last season. Thom lead the team with 87 tackles last year and was among the top players in the country in that category. Evans added 44 tackles making him the second leading tackler among returning players. Chinoski started last season as the Eagles’ quarterback but finished the year at strong safety where he will play this season. Moore was a medical redshirt last year, but will take the helm this season as the team’s starting quarterback. Fenn is a returning letterman at guard.
