Seven Muhlenberg players were named to the 2021 D3football.com All-Region 2 team.

Senior quarterback Michael Hnatkowsky was regional offensive player of the year, and joining him on the first team were senior wide receiver Michael Feaster and senior linebacker Spencer Kirin.

Senior long snapper James McGettigan and senior cornerback John Washington made the second team, while sophomore offensive tackle Zach Greenberg and senior defensive end Quentin Ogren landed on the third team.

The seven all-region selections are a program record for the Mules, who placed six players on the All-South Region team in 2016.

Hnatkowsky is the first Muhlenberg player ever to be named regional offensive player of the year. The two-time Centennial Conference offensive player of the year set school records for passing yards (3876) and passing touchdowns (47) in a season, ranking in the top five in Division III in both categories. He completed 68.9 percent of his passes and threw only 11 interceptions in 460 attempts, with no picks in 133 attempts in three postseason games. 

Hnatkowsky finished his career as the Muhlenberg and CC all-time leader in passing yards (12,708), passing touchdowns (144) and completions (985). His 144 touchdowns rank fifth in Division III history, and he also set a school record for career efficiency rating (159.98).

Feaster, his favorite target, became the first receiver in CC history to reach triple digits in receptions in a season, hauling in 104 passes for 1241 yards and 13 touchdowns. He ranks sixth in Division III in receptions per game. Feaster had three games with double digits in receptions and six 100-yard games, catching at least one touchdown pass in eight of 13 games. 

Kirin was one of the top players on a Mule defense that allowed only 12.9 points per game. He led the Mules with 97 tackles (65 solo) and filled up the stat sheet with two sacks, three pass breakups, one interceptions, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery. He also blocked four kicks, including two punts that were returned for touchdowns.

McGettigan was honored as a special teams player for his accuracy and reliability as a long snapper. Muhlenberg did not have a bad snap on a punt or a placement kick all season. McGettigan's ability to get up the field after snapping on punts contributed to the Mules not allowing a punt to be returned for positive yardage during the regular season. He also emerged as a top defensive player, recording six sacks (third on the team).

Like McGettigan, Washington also excelled on defense and special teams. A first-team All-CC cornerback for the second straight year, Washington tied for fourth on the team with 40 tackles. He picked off three passes, two of which he returned for touchdowns, broke up another five passes and forced a fumble in Muhlenberg's NCAA Tournament win vs. Framingham State. Washington also averaged 37.1 yards on 13 kickoff returns. 

Greenberg was honored for being a constant on the Mules' offensive line in his first season of collegiate football. A first-team All-CC selection, he was the only member of the offensive line to start all 13 games. The left tackle allowed only three sacks (two to the regional defensive player of the year) and helped pave the way for a Muhlenberg offense that averaged 37.4 points per game and averaged more than 21 first downs per game.

Ogren also was a key member of the Mule defense, earning All-CC first-team honors after leading the team with 15 tackles for loss, including seven sacks. He finished with 34 total tackles and added an interception and a pass breakup.

Muhlenberg finished the 2021 season with a record of 11-2, sharing the CC championship and advancing to the quarterfinals of the NCAA Tournament for the third straight season.
