Mount Ida College football senior center and Eastern Collegiate Football Conference (ECFC) Offensive Lineman-of-the-Year Matthew Bonomolo (Pearl River, NY/Nanuet) has added more hardware to the trophy case this week being selected to the D3football.com's All-East third team recipient as one of the three best center's on the eastern seaboard. Bonomolo is the first player in the history of the program to receive this very prestigious honor being recognized in such a high regard through all the teams that compete in the east.
Bonomolo, who was an ECFC Honorable Mention in 2011, has personified hard work and dedication to the Mount Ida football program since his first days as a student-athlete. As an offensive captain and four year starter, he has lead by example as an undersized lineman who can match-up with any opponent. Bonomolo is a smart, veteran lineman who has been the anchor of the offensive line all year. Bonomolo has paved the way for a dangerous running attack that warranted 17 touchdowns making Mount Ida's offense one of the best in the conference. Along with his ECFC Offensive Lineman-of-the-Year honor, Bonomolo was also recognized as a First Team All-Conference player as well.
