WILLIAMSBURG, Va. - The Tribe football program put the final touch on what was a remarkable 2009 season with its annual William and Mary Quarterback Club Football Banquet on Sunday afternoon in Trinkle Hall on the College's campus.

The event, which is sponsored by the Tribe's outstanding booster group, honored 11 players with various season honors. The awardees were as follows: sophomore tailback Jonathan Grimes (Offensive MVP); senior linemen Sean Lissemore and Adrian Tracy (Defensive MVPs); junior punter David Miller and senior placekicker Brian Pate (Special Teams MVPs); freshman cornerback B.W. Webb (Rookie of the Year); senior quarterback R.J. Archer (President's Award); senior tight end Rob Varno and senior safety David Caldwell (Leadership Award); freshman Michael Graham (Offensive Scout Team Player of the Year) and Ben Casper (Defensive Scout Team Player of the Year).

After garnering CAA Offensive Rookie of the Year honors last season, Grimes was chosen to the all-league first team as running back and to the third team as a kick returner in '09. The Palmyra, N.J., native finished the regular season ranked first in the conference and 14th nationally in all-purpose yards per game. He finished the season with 1,294 rushing yards (third-best single-season total in school history) and nine touchdowns on the ground, while hauling in 46 catches for 289 yards and a score through the air. Grimes was especially effective in conference play, as he averaged 95.5 yards per game on the ground and better than 5.0 yards per carry.

Lissemore was a four-year contributor on the defensive front for the College, but saved his best overall performance for last, as he earned his first career all-conference honor by being named to First-Team All-Colonial Athletic Association this season. He also earned first-team All-America honors from the Sports Network by finishing the year with 66 total tackles (30 solo) and 14 TFLs, including 6.5 sacks. While the Dumont, N.J., native also collected a pair of interceptions and had four passes deflected on the year, his contribution to the Tribe defense went beyond numbers as he was simply one of the most dominant interior players in the country.

A two-time first-team All-CAA honoree, Tracy was also one of the country's most dominant defensive players. The two-time ECAC All-Star ranked seventh nationally with 1.57 tackles for a loss per game and 15th at 0.79 sacks per game. With 12 sacks, he equaled the single-season school record established by Luke Cullinane in 1996. Additionally, Tracy ranked sixth in the conference in tackles among defensive linemen with 5.6 per game. Tracy finished his senior season having been named to a total of four All-America teams in 2009 (earning first team honors from both Walter Camp Football Foundation and the American Football Coaches Association, while garnering second team distinction from Associated Press and the Sports Network). In addition to registering an outstanding senior season, the Sterling, Va., native has been one of the country's top defensive players throughout his career. His 62.5 tackles for a loss leads the nation among all active players, while he ranks third with 31 career sacks ? a W&M record. He also started every game of his career (47) en route to establishing a school record.

A third-team all-conference selection last season, Miller garnered first-team distinction this year after ending the regular season ranked 11th nationally with 41.5 yards per punt. Overall, 11 of Miller's punts went for more than 50 yards, while he pinned the opposition in-side the 20-yard line 15 times. The Centreville, Va., native's best performance of the season came against Rhode Island when he averaged 48.7 yards per punt and pinned the Rams inside the 20 three times en route to earning CAA Special Teams Player of the Week honors.

A first-team all-league honoree last season, Pate was tabbed to the second team as a senior. One of the nation's most-productive place-kickers, he ranked fourth in the country with 1.64 made field goals per game and was 25th nationally with 7.71 points per game. With 23 field goals this season, the Fredericksburg, Va., native set the College's single-season school record, which formerly was 21 (established by Steve Christie in 1989). Additionally, with 45 career field goals, he ranks fifth all-time at the College and seventh in CAA history.

One of the nation's top cornerbacks, Webb ended the season ranked tied for second nationally with eight interceptions and was honored as the Colonial Athletic Association Defensive Rookie of the Year. The Newport News, Va., native also earned second-team all-league accolades as a cornerback and third-team distinction as a punt returner. His eight interceptions established a W&M freshman record and ranked tied for third on the program's single-season list among all players. Three of his picks came in the season-opening victory against Virginia, as he returned one for a touchdown en route to being honored as the Bronko Nagurski National Defensive Player of the Week. With the award, Webb became the first player from an FCS program to win the honor since its inception in 2001. Webb also posted a multi-interception effort in the 38-0 victory against No. 15/18 Weber State in the opening round of the NCAA Playoffs. He returned one of those interceptions 58 yards for a touchdown against the Wildcats.

In just his first year as a starting quarterback, Archer was named to the all-conference second team after ranking second in the league with 198.4 passing yards per game. The Earlysville, Va., native also ranked second in the CAA with 216.6 total yards per game. One of Archer's top performances came at then-No. 2 Villanova when he threw for 354 yards and equaled a single-game school record with 35 completions. He also established a single-game school record with 55 pass attempts versus the Wildcats. Archer also etched his name in the Tribe record book with the two longest completions in school history; a 98-yard TD pass to Cam Dohse in the NCAA National Semi-Finals at Villanvoa and a 91-yard touchdown pass to Chase Hill against Delaware. He completed the season completing 261-of-433 passes for 2,778 yards and 16 touchdowns, while rushing for 255 yards and five scores.

Varno earned second-team All-CAA honors for the second straight season after an outstanding senior campaign. One of the nation's top pass-catching tight ends, the Wilmington, N.C., native ranked second on the team with 50 catches for 467 yards and three touchdowns. Varno hauled in at least four catches in eight games, while he recorded touchdown receptions against Virginia, James Madison and Rhode Island. He finished second among league tight ends in both receptions and receiving yards on the year.

After leading the Tribe in tackles during each of the past two seasons, Caldwell earned the initial all-conference honor of his career with a first-team selection in '09. The Montclair, N.J., native finished the season with 58 tackles, two TFLs, a sack, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery. With 165 solo tackles during his career, he ranked 14th among all active players at the end of the season.
