2007: Ahonen was one of seven freshmen to earn a letter after playing in all but one regular-season game as a secondary back-up and special teams regular. Ahonen collected seven of his tackles in kick coverage to rank among the team leaders. He collected a career-high three stops – including his first career tackle for loss – in the win at Utica. He made a pair of tackles against Hartwick and two more in the Cortaca Jug win.
High School: A 2007 graduate of Victor Central School, Ahonen was coached by Jim Haugh. He was a two-time pick to the All-Greater Rochester Team and earned first-team all-state honors as a senior. Ahonen helped Victor to a Section V title in 2005 and also earned all-league honors in basketball and baseball.
Personal: An accounting major, he is the son of Dave and Caralee Ahonen; his father played football at Albany while Mike Welch was on the Great Dane coaching staff. He was named to the Empire 8 Presidents’ List following the fall semester. A third baseman on Ithaca’s NCAA playoff baseball team, Ahonen was named Empire 8 Rookie of the Year and earned all-region honors.
