Washington, D.C. - Georgetown University senior defensive lineman Alex Buzbee (Chester, N.J./Seton Hall Prep) played for the South squad in last week's Sixth Annual East Coast Bowl. The college all-star game was held at Cameron Stadium in Petersburg, Virginia.

The East Coast Bowl rosters, typically made up of Division II and III All-Americans, Harlon Hill candidates (Division II Player of the Year) and several conference players of the year, included Division I-AA players.

Buzbee was one 70 players on the rosters, which was made up of players at the Division I-AA, II, III and NAIA levels in 33 different states..

The senior recorded one solo tackle and one sack, for a loss of seven yards, in the South's 26-24 loss to the squad from the North.

Buzbee earned All-Patriot League honors for the third-straight season in 2006, taking a spot on the first team after two-straight seasons in which he earned second team honors. He finished tied for second on the team, and was 11th in the Patriot League, with 75 tackles. The 75 tackles were a career-high for Buzbee, who finished his four years on the Hilltop with 176 stops.

In addition, Buzbee was tied for the team and Patriot League lead in tackles-for-loss with 13.0 (for 53 yards) and was second in the conference with 5.5 sacks. He finished his career with 45.5 tackles-for-loss and 27.5 sacks, which ranks third in Georgetown history. Buzbee, one of Georgetown's co-captains, was the recipient of the prestigious No. 35 Joe Eacobacci Memorial Jersey this season, presented annually to the most exemplary member of the team in honor of a former player killed in the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001.

This is the second-straight year a Hoya player participated in the event, as Michael Ononibaku ('06) played in the 2005 game.
