Napotnik was a three-time All-PAC selection at running back, including a pair of second team nods (2002-03). He amassed 2,194 career rushing yards, the fifth most in program history, and his 13 rushing touchdowns tie him for the 10th most in school history. Napotnik averaged 4.4 yards per carry, the ninth best average in program history.
 
In 2003, Napotnik ran for 225 yards on 39 carries in a 31-28 win over Kenyon. His 39 rushing attempts are the second most in program single-game history and his 225 rushing yards rank fourth in school history. In addition, his 78-yard run on Sept. 23, 2000, is the fourth longest rush from scrimmage and helped the Tomcats earn a 13-12 victory over the Thomas More Saints.
 
Napotnik was a 2003 ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District II Second Team selection. Napotnik was named to the PAC Academic Honor Roll three times, and he was the recipient of a National Football Foundation (NFF) & College Hall of Fame Post-Graduate Scholarship.
