Providence, RI - Brown senior wide receiver Bobby Sewall
(Portsmouth, RI) and senior defensive tackle David Howard
(Columbia, MD) have been named Pre-season All-Americans by the
Consensus Draft Services. Both earned honorable mention
All-American honors.
Sewall, a first team All-Ivy and All-New England selection, led the
Ivy League in receptions (69), receiving yards (948) and scoring
(8.4 points per game) a year ago, registering eight receiving
touchdowns and six touchdowns via the run. He's a
triple receiving, running and passing threat, who ranked ninth in
the nation with 6.9 receptions per game, and 14th nationally with
94.80 receiving yards per game.
The former Portsmouth High School star also etched his name in the
Ivy League record book with 144 career receptions, 25th best in Ivy
football history. Against Cornell, Sewall made 11 receptions for
181 yards with touchdown grabs of 52 and 33 yards.
The 6-3, 270 Howard, earned first team All-Ivy and All-New England
honors and is also 2009 Pre-Season All-American selection by the
Sports Network. Howard had a breakout season for the Bears,
playing a key role in Brown's stingy rushing defense that
allowed just 77.1 yards per game to lead the Ivy League and rank
fourth nationally.
Howard led the Bears and ranked fourth in the Ivy League with 13
tackles for a loss of 69 yards. He also made 6.5 quarterbacks
to rank third in the Ivy League, and finished the season with 30
total tackles, including 17 solo stops. He walked on to the Brown
team following his freshman year and is a thrower for the
Bears' track & field team.
