Freshman of the Year
Layne Hatcher, Arkansas State (RFr., QB, Little Rock, Ark.)

Newcomer of the Year
Kaylon Geiger, Troy (Jr., WR, Fort Worth, Texas)

Coach of the Year
Billy Napier, Louisiana

My first reaction is the that Napier and Roberts did a great job this year. Roberts had no first team defenders. Only 3 defenders, all second team. Only 2 first team offensive players. (Guess the SBC had to put Hunt on first team since he is likely to be a NFL draft pick). Obviously the other SBC coaches do not think much of most of our players. Hope guys like Boudreaux, Ragas, Manac and others use this as motivation.

Werts got honorable mention QB over Levi.
I disagree

This list is horse ____. We rotate so many different players that the stats don’t reflect the skill of the player in every case.

If we really want respect ....go onto the field Saturday and damned well take it.

Agreed. Much more deserving. I watched Werts play in most of the games he started, and Levi was better. My totally unbiased opinion too.

Calais made the team 3 times! LOL

First team return specialist
Third team RB
Third team all purpose special teamer

He’s his own 3 headed monster
