Former Wiregrass Ranch football star Chris Faddoul, now a junior punter at Florida A&M University (FAMU), has been named third-team Associated Press FCS All-American.
The Wesley Chapel native’s average of 46 yards per punt this season ranked second in Division I FCS (Football Championship Series). He tallied 40 punts for 1,841 yards, with 19 punts placed inside the 20-yard line, with only five touchbacks. He also registered a season-long punt of 72 yards in an Oct. 20 overtime win over nationally-ranked North Carolina A&T State.
Faddoul previously earned first team All-MEAC (Mid-Eastern Athletic) Conference honors, for the 2019 campaign.
At Wiregrass Ranch, Faddoul was a multi-sport standout, playing football, soccer, tennis, and also competing in track & field. His senior year on the gridiron, Faddoul guided the Bulls to a state playoff appearance in 2016, as the team’s starting quarterback, kicker and punter.
