Brown, Comiskey earn preseason recognition
NEW ORLEANS — UL Lafayette landed a pair of players on the preseason All-Sun Belt Conference Team announced Monday during media day activities, and both safety C.C. Brown and place kicker Sean Comiskey come with solid credentials.
Brown, a second-team all-league choice last fall as a junior college transfer, lead the Cajuns in tackles at 6.1 per game. After missing the opener while paperwork was cleared up on his transfer, he started the last 11 games of the campaign.
“C.C. has turned into a heck of a leader for us,” said coach Rickey Bustle. “When he came here last year, he had to learn our system. He was quiet, but was a hard worker and led by example.
“Then last spring, we found out C.C. has a little personality to him. He’s more vocal now.”
Brown became the first Cajun to earn Sun Belt Defensive Player of the Week laurels, had a season-high 11 tackles at Southern Miss, recorded 10 tackles against both Houston and UL Monroe and had five or more tackles in nine of the last 10 games.
Comiskey was the UL scoring leader with 64 points in 2003, converting 28-of-29 extra points and 12-of-15 field goal attempts. He was the All-Conference kicker and garnered one Special Teams Player of the Week nod.
“Sean is as steady a kicker as I’ve ever been around,” Bustle said. “And, he’s working as hard as any position player we have. He wants to be the best he can be. He’s steady, and it’s fun to be around him.”
