BROOKVILLE, N.Y. — Tedi Kushi's work in the trenches is getting national attention.

Kushi, a redshirt sophomore from Staten Island, has been named the Phil Steele NEC Offensive Lineman of the Year as well as Phil Steele first-team All-NEC.

The Sharks placed a whopping 11 student-athletes on the Phil Steele All-NEC teams.

Owen Glascoe, Eric O'Neill, Victor Nelson Jr. and Davon Wells joined Kushi on the first team.

Luca Stanzani, Michael Coney, Will Lynch and Matt Aloni earned second-team honors.

And Michael Love and Larry Elder were named to the third team.

Actually, Wells earned first-, second- and third-team recognition — for all-purpose, kickoff returns and punt returns, respectively.

Kushi, a 6-foot-7, 305-pound offensive tackle, previously had been named Academic All-District by College Sports Communicators.
