Folkert named to All-OAC Football Team

Marietta College placed 11 players, including former Dover High School standout Kyler Folkert, on the All-Ohio Athletic Conference Football Team announced Tuesday morning by the league office.

The 11 all-conference selections are the most for the Pioneers since placing 12 on the All-OAC team in 1996.

Folkert, who earned honorable mention honors, started all five games at linebacker. He posted a team-high 38 total tackles, including 19 solo and 19 assisted stops.

Folkert notched 4.0 tackles for a loss, three pass break ups, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery.

Marietta finished the shortened spring season with a 3-2 record.
