Georgetown Football announced the recipient of the prestigious Joe Eacobacci Memorial Jersey.
Graduate student linebacker Justin Fonteneaux has been selected as the 18th recipient of the No. 35 Joe Eacobacci Memorial Jersey.
“The No. 35 Joe Eacobacci Memorial Jersey is one of the great traditions in college football and the Hilltop,” Head Coach Rob Sgarlata said. “I have had the honor to speak with the Eacobacci Family and past representatives of the No. 35 over the past year. This living memorial has evolved to embody Joe’s incredible personality and spirit with the 4 for 40 journey of the 17 former No. 35’s. These individuals have honored Joe’s memory and added to what it means to wear the No. 35. Over the past four years, Justin Fonteneaux has epitomized Magis. He is always looking to do more in the classroom, more on the field and more in the Georgetown Community. I am confident that Justin will represent the No. 35 with pride and continue to build on the lasting legacy of this special tradition.”
Fonteneaux has played 30 games at Georgetown. Last season, Fonteneaux posted 40 solo and 47 assisted tackles. He had a game for the ages against Columbia. In that game, Fonteneaux recorded 17 total tackles.
