Elite running backs dominated the DODDS-Europe football season and especially the Nov. 2 doubleheader of European championship games. Now, they’re dominating the postseason awards as well.

Nine running backs from eight different squads headline the 2013 All-Europe football team, a 48-player group selected by a committee of seven coaches led by DODDS-Europe athletic director Karen Seadore. That backfield contingent includes all four of the standout backs from the Final Four teams: Daivon Poole of Division I champion Wiesbaden, David Vidovic of Division II champion Hohenfels, Tevin Johnson of Division I runner-up Ramstein and Conner Manning of Division II runner-up SHAPE.

Ansbach’s Dorian Jones, Naples’ Juwan English, Vicenza’s Ethan Fullmer and the Bitburg duo of Larry Jackson and Kenny Love round out the running-back roster.

Poole leads nine Warriors onto the roster, the highest haul among the 15 schools represented on the roster. The Wiesbaden players were split evenly between offense and defense, with quarterback Reymoi Lewis and receiver CJ Pridgen among four offensive selections and senior linebacker Dequan Reed leading five Warrior defensive standouts.

Ramstein placed seven players on the roster. Division II powers Bitburg and Ansbach, considered favorites for a title-game showdown before suffering semifinal upsets, placed six and five players on the team, respectively.

All six Division I teams were represented on the list. Patch placed three players, Vilseck landed two and Kaiserslautern and Lakenheath netted one selection apiece. In all, Division I accounted for 23 selections. Nine of the 13 Division II programs were represented for a total haul of 25 players. Players from the Independent League, a four-team league playing nine-man football, were considered, but none were chosen.
