HULL, ELLIS DIVISION III ALL-AMERICANS

Washington and Lee's Robert Hull and Ferrum's Billy Ray Ellis have been named Division III All-Americans in football.

Hull, a junior who played at Lexington High School, was a second-team selection at defensive tackle for the second consecutive year. An All-Old Dominion Athletic Conference selection, he led the Generals in tackles (106), tackles for losses (12), sacks (seven), fumbles forced (four) and kicks blocked (two).

Ellis, a senior from Hopewell, was an honorable-mention selection at defensive end. A three-year starter, he had 64 tackles, 11 sacks and seven tackles for losses this season. His sacks total tied the school record set in 1988 by Jack Turner.

The 17th annual All-America squad was selected by a panel of 26 sports information directors representing the four NCAA Division III playoff regions.
