Isaiah Wright, Temple University football
Wright wasn’t a huge factor on offense for the Owls, but he still helped that unit out in a 34-26 Military Bowl loss to Wake Forest on Tuesday.
Wright returned six kickoffs for 169 yards, including a long of 47. He averaged over 28 yards a return, which helped give Temple’s offense good field position.
The former Holy Cross and Kingswood-Oxford player averaged 25.27 yards per return on 11 attempts for the season. He ran for 232 yards and scored one touchdown on 42 attempts. Wright also caught eight passes for 74 yards in his freshman season.

Marchi was second on the depth chart behind senior Phillip Walker, who broke his own record for most passing yards in a season for a Temple quarterback.

Manny Santiago, Regis College indoor track and field
It’s not often you find a three-sport college athlete.
Santiago, a former standout at Bristol Eastern, just happens to be a three-sport athlete. The senior finished up his senior soccer season in the fall, then moved on to indoor track and field. In the spring, Santiago plays volleyball.
On the soccer pitch, Santiago earned Third Team All-New England Collegiate Conference honors. He produced 10 wins, gave up just 1.58 goals per match (second in the NECC) and had a .743 save percentage (fourth in NECC).
Santiago is an exercise science major at Regis.
