Ball, Newholm make Preseason Wisconsin DIII Football Team

UW-Stout football players Marcus Ball (Sr, Austin, Minn) and Nate Newholm (Sr, Burlington) are featured in this month’s edition of the Inside Wisconsin Sports magazine. The duo are members of the inaugural Preseason Wisconsin Division III Football Team.

We are expecting great things from these two this season. They both serve as our Team Captains. Ball is trying to improve on his All American 2008 season where he was 1rst in the country in total tackles for loss and was 4th in the country in total sacks. Marcus is a 2009 Pre-Season All-American in numberous publications.

Newholm will look to improve on his second team all conference selection in 2008, his first year playing offensive line. What makes this accomplishment even more impressive is the fact that Newholm made this switch from deep in the defensive line depth chart to starting left tackle spot in one year. Not bad for a guy who never played offensive line before in college.

Keep a close eye on these two senior captains. Here is a link to their video of their photo shoot.
