July 26, 2006 – ATLANTA – Three Maroon Tigers were named to the All-SIAC first team and two to the second team, voted on by conference football coaches and announced today by Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association officials.
Offensive linemen Claiborne Green and Bryant Ervin and cornerback Johnny Eubanks were named to the preseason first team, based on their selection to the 2005 post-season All-SIAC team.
Green, a 6-4, 330-pound senior from Watkinsville, Ga. and Ervin, a 6-1, 325-pound senior from Keysville, Ga., anchored a Morehouse offensive line that finished third in total offense in the SIAC in 2005.
Eubanks, a 5-10, 170-pound junior from Atlanta, was one of the conference’s top defensive cover men. His three interceptions against Edward Waters College on September 17 earned him the DII.com national Defensive Player of the Week honors.
Defensive lineman Charles Prescott and kick-returner and wide receiver Ravenell DuPree, who were named to the second team, received their first All-SIAC honors. Prescott is a 6-1, 280-pound junior from Waynesboro, Ga.; DuPree is a 5-8, 170-pound senior from Atlanta.
