(Nov. 20, 2012) - Potomac Falls High School grad Tarrell Owens has made first team USA South for defensive backs at NCAA Division III Ferrum College.

Owens tied the school record for single-game interceptions with three Oct. 13 at home against North Carolina Wesleyan College. Owens picked off two more passes Oct. 27 at Greensboro College, one of which he returned 98 yards for a touchdown. His seven total interceptions this season finished tied for third nationally among the NCAA Division III ranks, and tied for seventh nationally with 0.70 interceptions per game.

I personally consider myself a Redskins fan but don't watch all that much and don't really know all the players positions except for RG3 and Cooley.  But I do know they put their bodies on the line every day for every PLAY.  My husband's friend ex- Eagle/Redskin Troy Drake once described each hit as getting into a car accident. So my hats off to all of those football players and the hits they take. Way to go Tarrell and keep up the great work.
