2019 ALL-PATRIOT LEAGUE FIRST TEAM (COACHES): DL: Nick Wheeler, Colgate, Sr.,...Wheeler ended his career as the all-time Colgate sack leader and third in Patriot League history with 33. That figure ranked fourth nationally among active FCS leaders. He led the team with 18 tackles-for-loss, accounting for minus-81 yards, and 9 1/2 sacks for minus-60. Both of those totals were among the national top 20. If sacks were not included in Wheeler's TFL total, he still would have been the team leader in TFLs with 8½. He started 31 games, all consecutive. - Colgate Football
