2005 Akron Football MAC Championship Memories: Part Two

For part two of our series about the 2005 Akron Football team that captures the MAC Championship, the staff at GoZips.com sat down with Merce Poindexter, a graduate assistant in the Academic Support Services office with the University of Akron Athletics Department. Poindexter was a freshman on the 2005 team and finished his career as a four-year member of the Zips. During his career, Poindexter caught 41 passes for 424 yard and scored eight touchdowns, including four scores as a senior. He averaged 10.3 yards per catch while appearing in 49 games over four seasons. In 2008, Poindexter was voted team captain. He shares with us his desire to give back to the program by working in academics and also recalls some of his favorite memories from the 2005 season.

Check back on GoZips.com tomorrow as we conclude our three-part series when we sit down with another member of the 2005 MAC Championship team. Members from the squad will be honored during Saturday's homecoming game against Northern Illinois at 6 p.m. on Summa Field at Infocision Stadium.
