CLEVELAND – University of Akron senior receiver Marquelo Suel was named to the All-Mid-American Conference Third Team, the league office announced on Wednesday.
Suel led the Zips in catches (76) and receiving yards (820) this season as a senior, and also had five touchdown receptions. Those 76 catches is the second most in a single season in program history, surpassing Domenik Hixon's 75 in 2005. The school record is held by Jabari Arthur, who had 86 in 2007.
A native of Fort Wayne, Ind., Suel closed out the regular season ranked fifth in the MAC and tied for 28th nationally in catches per game (6.3). He caught a career-high 12 passes for 92 yards at Tennessee on Sept. 29, which was three shy of tying the school's single-game best in that category. He had double-digit receptions in three games in 2012 and was a member of the Biletnikoff Award Watch List.
Suel finished his collegiate career with 110 catches (1,237 yards), the seventh most in school history, after posting 34 for 417 yards in 2011 as a redshirt junior. He utilized his redshirt in 2010 after transferring to UA from Allan Hancock (Calif.) Community College prior to that season. He signed with Indiana out of high school in 2008.
