VALDOSTA, Ga. --- Tusculum University offensive lineman Tommy Mahoney has been named to the Division II Conference Commissioner's Association (D2CCA) All-Super Region 2 football second team.
The D2CCA All-Super Region 2 team is selected by the athletic media relation directors representing the South Atlantic Conference, Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association, Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference and the Gulf South Conference.
Mahoney, a 6-1, 305-pound center from Glen Mills, Pennsylvania, is a two-time All-South Atlantic Conference first team honoree. He was named to the 2021 All-SAC first team and was tabbed to the 2022 All-SAC Mountain Division squad as a first team pick. He was also a regional finalist for the Gene Upshaw Division II Lineman of the Year Award.
He was the lone player on the Tusculum offensive line to start in all 11 games this season. He graded out at 92 percent on the year and finished with 26 pancake blocks. He completed his career making 26 consecutive starts for the Pioneers as TU offense averaged 30.5 points per game (4th in SAC) and generated 396.5 offensive yards (2nd in SAC / 49th in NCAA II). Tusculum was also the No. 2 pass offense in the league, averaging 235 yards per game (39th in NCAA II). The Pioneers also recorded 217 first downs which were the second-most in the SAC.
Tusculum completed the 2022 season with an 8-3 record and finished runner-up in the SAC Mountain Division. TU's eight wins are tied for the third-most in a season in school history.
The D2CCA encourages and promotes Division II athletics and high standards of sportsmanship as important elements of higher education. The D2CCA is a key communications link among conferences as they discuss views, policies and regulations that impact Division II intercollegiate athletics and works closely with the NCAA as a communications channel to NCAA Division II member colleges and universities.
