WATCH: Korrell Koehlmoos highlights from 2022
SEWARD, Neb. – A record-breaking season for Concordia University Football standout Korrell Koehlmoos resulted in another major award. On Saturday (Dec. 31), the Omaha World-Herald announced Koehlmoos as one of two honorary captains on its 2022 NAIA All-Midlands Football Team. The All-Midlands Team recognizes the top players from NAIA institutions in the state of Nebraska. Previously, former All-American Bulldog linebacker Lane Napier was named an All-Midlands honorary captain three times.
Koehlmoos was joined with 2022 All-Midlands recognition by nine of his teammates. That bunch includes offensive honorees in quarterback DJ McGarvie, tight end Luke Lange and offensive lineman Kaden Peters, among others. First Team All-GPAC linebacker Michael Grindey also made the cut. All 10 Concordia award winners are listed below.
As Head Coach Patrick Daberkow told the World-Herald of Koehlmoos, “Korrell just loves football. He would have been on every special teams unit if I let him. He was fearless going across the middle. He took some big hits during his career and always popped up. We always said he must have rubber bones.”
