Led by freshman quarterback Marc Wilson, four St. Anselm College football players were honored by the Northeast-10 as members of the 2008 Northeast-10 Football All-Conference teams.

Wilson was named the Northeast-10 Freshman of the Year, becoming the first Hawk to win the award. In addition, junior running back Luke St. Marie was named as a First Team All-Conference selection, and freshmen Wilson, Kyle Hayes and Bryant Lane were all named to the All-Rookie Team.

Wilson finished his freshman season with nearly every St. Anselm rushing record. He finished with 1,214 yards on 270 carries, both single-season program records. In addition, Wilson finished his rookie season with a single-game school-record 285 yards on 35 carries in a win over Pace. For his performance, he was named as the Northeast-10 Freshman and Offensive Player of the Week, as well as the ECAC Division II Offensive Player of the Week.

Wilson's 285-yard effort is the third highest single-game total in the nation this year, and he ranks sixth in the country in rushing (121.4 yards per game). Wilson was honored twice this season as the Northeast-10 Player of the Week and once as the Freshman of the Week. In addition, Wilson surpassed the 100-yard rushing mark six times this season, a St. Anselm single-season record.

St. Marie, who earlier in the season ran for a then single-game record 241 yards in a 48-42 shootout win over Merrimack, became the first St. Anselm running back to earn First Team All-Conference honors since 2003. St. Marie finished the season with 712 yards and six touchdowns, the sixth-highest single-season rushing total in St. Anselm history. St. Marie capped his season off with a 144-yard, two-touchdown effort that landed him a spot on the Northeast-10 Weekly Honor Roll.

Lane caught 27 passes for a team-best 208 yards and two touchdowns this season, including a season-high nine catches for 81 yards and a touchdown in a home loss against Bentley in October.

Hayes finished his freshman season with 50 tackles, including 26 solo stops, and led all Saint Anselm freshmen in total tackles. He had 10 tackles for a loss, two sacks and one pass breakup.

St. Anselm finished the season 2-8 overall and 1-6 in the Northeast-10 under first-year head coach Patrick Murphy.
