2022 PRESEASON WALTER PAYTON AWARD WATCH LIST: RB Ailym Ford, Chattanooga, Jr., 5-9, 213,...Ford is already honored first with preseason all-conference and later All-America consideration. He enters the campaign with 2,244 yards and 20 touchdowns looking to become the only Moc with three 1,000-yard campaigns ahead of the trio of Eldra Buckley (2005, 2006), Jacob Huesman (2014, 2015) and Derrick Craine (2015, 2016). "Ailym has an incredible impact on our program," Coach Rusty Wright stated. "It's not just on the field, which is obvious and why he's under this consideration in the first place. He's in this position because of what he does off the field. "He is an elite worker be it on the practice or the weight room or the classroom. Ailym has a chance to make his mark as the best running back in Chattanooga history." He rushed for 1,071 yards on 203 carries with 11 touchdowns in 2021 sharing totes with Tyrell Price (133-853-9). - Chattanooga Football

2022 PRESEASON BUCK BUCHANAN AWARD WATCH LIST: DL Devonnsha Maxwell, Chattanooga, Sr., 6-3, 296 (2021 Finalist),...Maxwell finished 14th in the voting a year ago with his production belying what position he actually plays for the Mocs. The common misconception is that "D-Max" (emphasis on the Max) is a defensive end. With 12.0 sacks and just 7.5 shy of the Southern Conference record, it's an easy assumption that he's out wide with his ears pinned back going after the quarterback snap after snap.

Maxwell is actually a tackle. The sheik term is 3-technique meaning he has to work through guards, centers and tackles. His production is impressive considering the number of eyes on him every play on the interior of the line. "D-Max is a major part of our success defensively," Coach Rusty Wright shared. "He is a disruptive force at the 3-technique. "He is a leader on this football team and has a bright future ahead." Maxwell is a consensus preseason All-America after making virtually every squad a season ago. D-Max recorded 42 tackles with 15.5 for loss and 12.0 sacks. He set the school record sacks in a game with 5.0 in the Rail Rivalry triumph over ETSU against a Bucs offensive line that had allowed just four sacks in the previous six games to start the season. - Chattanooga Football

08/02/22 - McClendon Curtis, rSr/2023, Chattanooga, 6-6, 324 (DS#13 OT) + More +

2022 PRESEASON ALL-SOUTHERN CONFERENCE FIRST TEAM (COACHES): OL McClendon Curtis, Sr., Chattanooga,...Curtis was a first team All-SoCon selection who was a bit overshadowed by NFL first-rounder Cole Strange. Strange's senior trip was similar with little national fanfare entering his final campaign before continuing a dominating career. Curtis looks to follow that pattern. He and junior tackle Colin Truett return as starters from an O-line that was integral to the squad averaging 205.5 rushing yards per game, the highest average since 2016 (206.3). The Mocs rushed for more than 170 yards in all but two games including the narrow loss to VRBO Citrus Bowl Champ Kentucky. - Chattanooga Football

2022 PRESEASON ALL-SOUTHERN CONFERENCE FIRST TEAM (COACHES): DL Devonnsha Maxwell, Sr., Chattanooga,...Maxwell is a returning All-American earning first team recognition a year ago from Stats Perform and Phil Steele and second team on three other lists. He has his eyes squarely on two other pass-rush legends at Chattanooga with SoCon career sack leader Davis Tull and season record holder Keionta Davis. Maxwell had 12.0 sacks in 2021 raising his career total to 29.5. That fell 1.5 shy of Davis' season mark set in 2015. His career number is 7.5 short of Tull (2011-14). - Chattanooga Football

2022 PRESEASON ALL-SOUTHERN CONFERENCE DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR (COACHES): Devonnsha Maxwell, Sr., DL, Chattanooga,...Chattanooga is the preseason pick to win its first league title since 2015 after going 6-5 overall and 5-3 in league play last season. The Mocs, who spent eight weeks in the national rankings last season and handed ETSU its lone league loss, led Kentucky in the fourth quarter before ultimately falling by five and dropped its three league games by a combined 10 points. UTC features eight players that earned preseason all-conference recognition this season, including five on the first team, but must replace first-round NFL Draft pick Cole Strange, who became the SoCon's first first-rounder since 1974. The Mocs claimed five first-place votes and 60 points in the coaches poll and 18 of 30 first-place votes and 256 points in the media poll. Chattanooga is ranked 12th in the Athlon Sports Preseason FCS Top 25 and 16th in the HERO Sports Preseason FCS Top 25. - Southern Conference Football

ETSU running back Jacob Saylors has been named the Southern Conference Preseason Offensive Player of the Year and Chattanooga defensive lineman Devonnsha Maxwell has been tabbed the Preseason Defensive Player of the Year in voting by the league's nine head coaches. For the second straight season, the coaches and media both selected Chattanooga to win the SoCon title. Chattanooga is the preseason pick to win its first league title since 2015 after going 6-5 overall and 5-3 in league play last season. The Mocs, who spent eight weeks in the national rankings last season and handed ETSU its lone league loss, led Kentucky in the fourth quarter before ultimately falling by five and dropped its three league games by a combined 10 points.

He announced he was transferring on social media and mentioned looking to move back to the offensive side of the ball. - Roanoke Times
