After a highly successful week at the East-West Shrine Game, 2012 Bushnell Cup winner Mike Catapano was a guest of Bob Papa and Ross Tucker '01 on "The Opening Drive" recently. Hear his full interview by clicking on the link above.

He was also featured in an interview with the College Football Performance Awards, which honored Catapano as the 2012 CFPA FCS Elite Defensive End Award. You can listen to that interview here.

Catapano, a third-team All-America honoree who earned the 2012 Bushnell Cup as the Ivy League Defensive Player of the Year, led the Ivy League with 12 sacks and ended the regular season ranked second in the Football Championship Subdivision with 1.2 sacks per game. He ranked second in the Ivy League in tackles for loss with 15.5, which was only a half tackle off the League lead, and ranked ninth nationally in that category.

The two-year co-captain ended the season with 41 tackles, and he had five games with at least two tackles for loss, as well as five games with at least five tackles. His 12 sacks were the most for a single season at Princeton since David Ferrara '00 recorded 12.5 during the 1998 season.
