The All Traveling Coach team is made up of the 31 teams from 7 states that I have seen this year. I wanted to compile a group of the best multidimensional players as I could. This group is the kind of guys of would have loved to have coached at each position versatile, tough, smart, leaders.

22 TD passes -1658 pass yards-425 rush yards-8 rushing TDS.

He scored two TDs including a 99 yard kickoff return vs. IMG Academy, 2 punt return TDs vs. Nazareth High School in state playoffs, 15 yard TD run in the state semifinals, and a 12 yard TD catch in the State finals.
TE: Garrett Cararo – senior – 6’1” 230 – Ansonia (CT)
A big physical tight end that was mostly used as a blocker in a run heavy offense (3293 rushing on the year). Cararo also played on the defensive lineman. He caught 3 touchdowns on the season and also returned a fumble for a touchdown on Thanksgiving vs. Naugatuck.
Tackle: Todd Felter – senior – 6’3” 290 – Bergen Catholic (NJ)
Absolutely monster on the offensive line, finished his blocks, and has excellent athleticism. Felter was clearly the emotional leader for the Crusaders. He will play at Rutgers next season.

Guard: Tom Bambrick – junior – 6’4” 285 – Hand (CT)
Bambrick was a force on the offensive line for the Tigers. He did a great job as a puller getting to the second level of the defense and finishing his blocks when he got there. He was named to Walter Camp and Class L All-State Teams.
Center: Travis Gause – sophmore – 6’0” 250 – Central (MA)
When you watch a game you rarely notice one offensive lineman in the case of Travis Gause he stood out when we saw him play. A common theme to good offensive linemen is their ability to finish their blocks and he certainly was doing that. Good pass blocker as well for an offense that had over 4000 total yards and averaged 46.5 points a game.
All-Purpose: Jessie Parsons – senior – 5’10” 160 – New Rochelle (NY)

K: Austin Jose – senior – 6’3” 170 – St Joseph (CT)
