With kickoff of Maine's season opener just minutes away, some impressive news is circulating around Orono concerning some former players.

Mike DeVito, Maine's all-conference tackle last year, made the New York Jets roster. DeVito, 6-foot-3, 298 pounds, called Maine staff today to share the news.

Daren Stone earned a roster spot with the Atlanta Falcons. Stone, a strong safety, was drafted this spring in the sixth round following a breakout senior year at Maine.

Montell Owens also secured his position with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Owens, who played with Jacksonville last year, was Maine's top tailback in 2005.

Jenn covers the University of Maine for the Portland Press Herald/Maine Sunday Telegram.

A former Portland Pirates beat writer who has covered two winter Olympics for the paper, she will tackle the Maine beat for a fourth year this season.

She has the empty coffee cups, and turnpike mileage receipts littering her
excellent-gas-mileage
Honda Civic to prove it.


Though she is a graduate of rival New Hampshire, she almost never thinks of that 1999 hockey game anymore.
