West Chester left guard Tyler Drob (Cherry Hill East) has received the 2018 Brooks Irvine Memorial Football Club of South Jersey NCAA Division II Player of the Year Award.

After the 2016 season, he was named first team All-PSAC East, honorable mention All-ECAC, second team Don Hansen Football Gazette Super Region 1 and honorable mention Don Hansen Football Gazette All-American. Drob missed all of 2017 due to an injury and received a medical redshirt.

The Phillips R. Brooks Memorial Football Club was formed in 1945 to perpetuate the memory of Camden High School Athletic Director Phillips R. Brooks. Upon the passing of Collingswood High School Athletic Director Howard T. Irvine, the name of the organization was changed to to the Brooks-Irvine Memorial Football Club of South Jersey. Its purpose is to support the scholastic athletes of South Jersey, their coaches, high schools, athletic directors, cheerleaders and all those who supported scholastic football.

Previous Golden Rams to win the award were left tackle Doub Gilbert (Lenape) in 2016, right tackle Ryan Devlin (Kingsway) in 2007, running back Mike Eckmeyer (Triton) in 2003, and Mike Carnesale (Hammonton) in 1987.
