Chicago, Ill. -- University of Albany’s Michael Dungey has been named to the College Sporting News 2007 Fabulous 50 FCS (Football Championship Subdivision) All-America Team, as announced on Friday, Dec. 21. In all, 37 teams and 13 conferences are represented on the squad.

Dungey, a 6-foot-2, 275-pound defensive lineman, was the lone player from the Northeast Conference chosen. He earned all-conference recognition for the third consecutive year, including his second first-team selection. Dungey, who received the team’s most valuable player award earlier this month, made 44 tackles, broke up two passes and recovered one fumble. He led the team in tackles for a loss (11.5) and was second in sacks (5.5).

A native of Rochester, N.Y., Dungey played both tackle and end on UAlbany’s defensive line this season. In 45 career games, he totaled 125 tackles, including 31.0 for a loss and 11.5 sacks. The senior tri-captain led a defensive unit that ranked 17th in scoring (19.4 ppg), 19th in rushing defense (118.3 ypg) and 27th in total defense (334.0 ypg) among the Division I FCS national leaders.

UAlbany captured the Northeast Conference championship, its third league title since 2002, and made a Gridiron Classic appearance this season. The Great Danes matched their best record at the Division I FCS level with an 8-4 mark.
