Earlier this week Mallory was named an AFCA All-American, becoming
just the second Blue Devil in its FCS history to garner that
honor. He was the 2009 Northeast Conference Offensive Player of
the Year and has also been chosen to the New England Sports Writers
All-New England team for his efforts this season. His last two
seasons at Central have been nothing short of spectacular.
He finished his senior season in 2009 with 1,352 rushing yards and
16 touchdowns. His rushing total was good for 112.67 yards per
game, the fourth highest total in the country. His 16 touchdowns
put him 19th in the country in scoring on the season.
Mallory finished his career with 3,245 rushing yards, the
second-highest total in school history. He ran for 2,872 yards in
the last two seasons and scored 31 touchdowns during that time. He
finished his career averaging 5.2 yards per carry and with 34
career scores. He is second all-time in school history with his
206 career points.
Mallory and his teammates put together one of the most successful
football seasons in school history in 2009. They finished the year
9-3 and won their third NEC title in the last six seasons. The
nine victories matched a school record.
