2022 ALL-CAA FOOTBALL THIRD TEAM: Chandler Brayboy, Elon, SPEC, So.,...Redshirt sophomore Chandler Brayboy has been impressive as a gunner on the punting unit and as a kick returner, while also being a starting wide receiver for the Phoenix.

2022 ALL-CAA FOOTBALL THIRD TEAM: Jeff Yurk, Elon, P, So.,...Sophomore punter Jeff Yurk had a breakout season in 2022 and is on pace to break Elon's single-season punting average record. Heading into the FCS playoffs, Yurk is averaging 43.7 yards per punt, surpassing the previous record of 43.4 yards. He turned his season around at halftime of the William & Mary game, averaging just 36.8 yards on 18 punts up to that point in the year. But in his 31 punts since, Yurk is averaging 47.6 yards per punt and currently ranks seventh nationally with his 43.7 average. He has 14 50-yard punts in 2022 and 17 inside the 20. He posted a career-long 65-yarder in the second half of that William & Mary game and added a 62-yard punt at Hampton. - Elon Football

2022 ALL-CAA FOOTBALL THIRD TEAM: Jabril Williams, Elon, OL, So.,...Redshirt sophomore offensive lineman Jabril Williams started all 11 games at right guard for the Phoenix, part of an offensive line unit that has started the same five players for every game in 2022. Williams helped Elon have consistent success offensively as the Phoenix rushed for 120+ yards in 10-of-11 games this year after reaching that rushing total just one time in 2021. Williams helped pave the way for Jalen Hampton to become the program's first 1,000-yard rusher since 2004. The offensive line has also protected quarterback Matthew McKay and the unit is tied for second in the CAA in fewest sacks allowed (1.5 per game). - Elon Football

Matthew McKay threw three touchdown passes, kicker Skyler Davis set a pair of school records, and Elon defeated Delaware 27-7 on Saturday.

10/26/22 - Matthew Downing, rSr/2025, Elon, 5-11, 207 (DS#71 QB) + More +

Louisiana Tech football is at a crossroads with the quarterback position. Late in the first quarter, Parker McNeil went down. With less than a minute left in the game with a game-tying touchdown on the line, Matthew Downing went down. Landry Lyddy, a freshman, stepped up and took the Bulldogs (2-5, 1-2 Conference-USA) into overtime but a failed two-point conversion cost them the game in a 42-41 heartbreaker. Louisiana Tech football coach Sonny Cumbie has a decision to make- who will start against Florida International on Friday. "I'm excited about the challenge with whomever walks out there," Cumbie said. Unfortunately, Downing is out of the race with a season-ending a knee injury, Cumbie said.

Prior the injury Downing had completed 12-of-24 passed for 159 yards, two TDs and one interception alongside 40 rushing yards. "It's a tough deal for (Downing), it's a tough deal personally, for the team and anybody who goes through and injury in football," Cumbie said. "I think when you care about your players, when you care about their wellbeing its a difficult deal." The typical starter at quarterback this season, McNeil, is being monitored daily to see if he is able to come back for Friday night. With Downing out for the season, sophomore Jack Turner rises into the conversation. Turner has yet to see game action this season. As the week progresses, Cumbie said Turner and Lyddy will be taking more reps during practice. - Monroe News Star
