FLORENCE, Ala. — Shippensburg quarterback Zach Zulli won the Harlon Hill Trophy as the top player in Division II after a record-setting junior season.

Zulli received the award Friday night at the University of North Alabama. He set NCAA Division II records by accounting for 336 points and 56 touchdowns, and tied the national record with 54 touchdown passes.

“This is just ridiculous. I never would have expected this,” said Zulli, who had never flown before the plane trip to Alabama. “Sharing this award with my teammates, it just feels incredible.”

Zulli passed for 4,747 yards this season.
