Orono, ME-Coach Jack Cosgrove announced last week that the Black Bears will be welcoming a new linebacker this coming football season. Shawn Bodtmann is a 5-11 205 pound athlete from West Scranton HS in Pennsylvania. He is a National Honor student and an amazing athlete being named 18th in his state this past football season.
In high school, Bodtmann played linebacker, safety and running back for coach Michael DeAntona. Bodtmann helped lead his team to a pair of district championships during his football career. He had an outstanding junior season as he rushed for over 1,000 yards and 22 touchdowns. His accomplishments weren't limited to just offense, as he was also a standout on the defensive side of the field. Bodtmann recorded over 100 combined tackles, four sacks and four interceptions. He was rated a three-star recruit by Rivals.com in January 2009.
The Black Bears are excited and anxious to welcome their new team member next smester. Coach Cosgrove said, "He has demonstrated the characteristics of the type of student-athlete we want representing our program. He is a winner in the classroom, on the field and in his community. We expect him to have a huge impact on our program." Bodtmann is the player to watch!
