Mike Teel has taken a step up in his college football coaching career.

Teel, the all-time leading passer in Rutgers history, was named quarterbacks coach at Wagner College on Feb. 13 after serving as the quarterbacks coach and pass game coordinator at Kean last season, when the Cougars were 10-2 and ranked 10th nationally among Division III teams.

"Our quarterbacks will benefit from Mike’s wide array of experiences," said veteran Wagner coach Walt Hameline. "Mike is serious about the game, eager to make coaching his life’s work, and I believe the success he enjoyed and his name recognition in this region will resonate in recruiting."

A three-year starter and two-time captain at Rutgers, Teel never lost a game at Don Bosco. He’s been the quarterbacks coach at the Phil Simms Quarterbacks Camp since 2000 and has served in the same capacity at the Greg Toal Ironman Football Camp and All American Football Academy since 2010.

Greg Schiano, Teel’s college coach, is not surprised his former player has become a coach.

"Mike was a great player for us and even in his playing days you could already see that he would make a fantastic coach," Schiano said. "This is a great opportunity for him to fulfill that promise and I know that he will do a phenomenal job. Wagner is lucky to have a bright young mind like his."

Milligan milestone

Former Don Bosco star Georgio Milligan has become the leading scorer in Franklin & Marshall history. He scored a game-high 26 points in a 63-53 victory over Dickinson, upping his career total to 1,807 points. James McNally had held the record with 1,796 points.

Brianne Traub, the former Eastern Christian star from Wayne, is the first freshman in the 25-year history of the University of Sciences’ women’s program to score more than 400 points in a season. Traub is the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference Rookie of the Week for the eighth time. She’s averaging 17.6 points.

Vaughn Gray of Elmwood Park is a key reserve for George Mason (23-6). The 6-foot-5 freshman, who prepped at Don Bosco and St. Benedict’s, is averaging 3.4 points and 1.3 rebounds.
