Bulls Football Names Captains for 2001
Dzvonick, Freedy, Rohlfs, Williams tabbed as captains prior to Blue-White Game
 | | Joe Freedy |
BUFFALO, NY - University at Buffalo head football coach Jim Hofher
has announced his team's 2001 captains following a team vote prior to the annual
Blue-White Spring Scrimmage on Wednesday, April 11 at 7 pm at UB Stadium.
Named as captains by vote of their teammates for the 2001 season are seniors
Joe Freedy (Bethel Park, PA/Bethel Park) on offense and Bob
Dzvonick (Pittsburgh, PA/Shaler), Craig Rohlfs (Cincinnati, OH/Moeller)
and Duane Williams (Detroit, MI/Denby) on defense.

"The kids on the team felt very strongly when given a chance to select
captains for the 2001 season, and have selected these seniors overwhelmingly,"
said Hofher. "We as a staff feel like the most powerful award for an athlete
to receive is to be selected by his peers as an acknowledged leader, and
all four of these guys fit the bill."
Freedy is a two-year starter who has started 22 straight games at quarterback
in his career. Last season, he became just the fourth player in school history
to throw for over 2,000 yards in a season and also tossed 14 touchdowns. In
his career, Freedy has thrown for 3,835 yards and 22 touchdowns.

Dzvonick has started for the Bulls since his freshman season and last year
recorded 33 total tackles, including five for losses, at nose guard. He has
started 26 of 30 career games and recorded 97 tackles and four sacks in his UB
career thus far.
Rohlfs, meanwhile, has rebounded from career-threatening shoulder surgeries
to return to the UB lineup. Despite playing only six games last year, Rohlfs
had 43 tackles - fifth best on the team - and two fumble recoveries. He also
has recorded six interceptions in his UB career and is tied for sixth
all-time with five fumble recoveries.
 | | Duane Williams |
Williams was an honorable mention Mid-American Conference All-League selection
last season after ranking 24th in the nation in sacks in his first season at
UB. The native of Detroit was fourth on the team in tackles with 53 (40 solos)
and led the Bulls with nine sacks, 15 tackles for loss and two forced fumbles.
Williams also tied for the team lead with six pass breakups and three interceptions.
