  2019 NORTHEAST CONFERENCE DEFENSIVE ROOKIE OF THE YEAR (COACHES): Terrell Smith, DB, Saint Francis,... Redshirt freshman Terrell Smith (Baltimore, Md./St. Frances Academy) was named the Northeast Conference Defensive Rookie of the Year on Wednesday as nine members of the Saint Francis football team received all-conference honors.

Smith played an integral role in SFU's success on the defensive side of the ball, recording 21 tackles, 3.5 tackles for a loss, 2.5 sacks and an interception.

As a unit, the Red Flash ranked third in the NEC and 13th in all of FCS in total defense (318.4 ypg) and third in the NEC in scoring defense (21.8 ppg). The Red Flash defense wreaked havoc in opponents' backfields, ranking second in the league in sacks with 34, first in the NEC and 7th in FCS in tackles for a loss at 8.4 per game. Smith was part of a secondary that led the NEC and ranked 9th in FCS in pass defense efficiency, holding opponents to 29.5% on third downs. He was named the NEC Rookie of the Week on Nov. 18 after registering six tackles, 1.5 tackles for a loss and a sack in a win over Wagner. - Saint Francis Football

Lee totaled seven tackles for a defense that limited LIU to 2.8 yards per play. He hit the receiver for no gain on the second play of the game, contributing to a three-and-out for the Sharks. Lee ended LIU's next possession by blocking a 31-yard field goal attempt, keeping SFU's 3-0 lead intact. The veteran linebacker derailed the Sharks' opening possession of the second half, dropping the ball carrier behind the line of scrimmage on back-to-back plays to force a punt after LIU was set up with a 2nd-and-2 at the SFU 39-yard line. Lee added a sack on a second-down play with SFU holding a 16-0 lead early in the fourth quarter. - NEC Football
