He was a first-team Associated Press and Pennsylvania Football News all-state selection and was named Defensive Player of the Year by Johnstown's "The Tribune-Democrat". Koenig was chosen as an all-star for both defensive back (first team) and running back (second team) by the "Altoona Mirror", rushing for 1,722 yards and 26 touchdowns during his senior season. He finished his career with 2,385 yards, 35 touchdowns rushing, 14 catches for 338 yards, four touchdowns receiving, and 242 points (39 touchdowns, four two-point conversions) in addition to 154 tackles (83 solo) and three interceptions from his defensive spot.

Playing in all 12 games his senior season, Koenig set a career high of 11 tackles in a game versus the Kent State Golden Flashes. As a junior, he recorded 49 tackles, including 25 solo stops and ranked second on the team for defensive backs with 4.5 tackles for loss. He also helped lead the Bobcats to a MAC East Division title, a MAC Championship Game appearance, and a 2007 GMAC Bowl appearance.
