University of Connecticut redshirt freshman offensive guard Moe Petrus (St. Laurent, Que.) was named to the Sporting News 2008 All-Freshman college football team on Tuesday.
Petrus started all 12 games of the regular season games for the Huskies at left guard. He was part of an offensive line that allowed running back Donald Brown to lead the country in rushing. UConn was ranked 20th in the country in rushing yards per game and second in the Big East at 204.58 yards per game.
A product of Vanier Prep, he was a 2006 Canadian All-Star and helped Vanier to the Cegep Championship in 2006 with a 12-1 record.
