11/26/25 - RB Elijah Howard, rSr/2026, Central Connecticut + More +

2025 NEC OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR (COACHES): RB Elijah Howard, CCSU, Sr, 5-10, 185, Knoxville, TN/Baylor School (Virginia Tech),...Howard leaves his mark as one of the most explosive and clutch rushers the league has produced in recent history with his consistency and big performances. The 5-foot-10 defined versatility in 2025. Rushing for 1,078 yards to the tune of a league-best 98.0 yards per game, Howard, who finished the season strong with three-straight 100-yard outings and six touchdowns in the final three weeks of the campaign, added 296 receiving yards to top the NEC charts with 1,374 all-purpose yards and 124.9 per contest. He reached the end zone a league-leading 15 occasions, 11 times on the rush and four times on the catch. Howard enters Central Connecticut's postseason matchup at Rhode Island ranked 13th in the nation in rushing yards and rushing yards per game, while his 11 rushing scores are good for 24th among all FCS running backs.

Finishing as the league's runner-up in rushing yards in each of the past two seasons, the senior put an exclamation point on the NEC's first 1,000-yard rushing campaign since NFL baller Julius Chestnut surpassed the mark in 2023 with an eruptive outing in last Saturday's pivotal regular season finale against Mercyhurst. He delivered 188 all-purpose yards on 163 rush yards and three touchdowns - including the go-ahead score on an eight-yard catch in the fourth quarter - to seal the deal on another postseason berth for the Blue Devils. That was not the first time that the Tennessee native delivered with the game on the line. In overtime against Sacred Heart, he hauled in a 25-yarder in the end zone to propel the Blue Devils past their Nutmeg State foe. In his three seasons at Central Connecticut, Howard has accumulated 3,002 rushing yards for an average of 91.0 per game. In addition, he has 24 career touchdowns. Among active career FCS leaders, he is sixth in rushing yards, third in rushing yards per game, fifth in all-purpose yards (3,908), third in all-purpose yards per game (118.42) and 18th in rushing touchdowns. - NEC Football

2025 NEC DEFENSIVE ROOKIE OF THE YEAR (COACHES): DB Caleb Jones, Duquesne, So, 5-9, 190, Ravenna, OH/Archbishop Hoban,...Jones, a Buckeye State native, seamlessly transitioned from the offensive side of the gridiron to steadily emerge as a key defensive back for Duquesne this season. Providing reliable coverage on the regular, he provided a key foundation for a Dukes' secondary that helped stymie NEC offenses to the tune of 17.7 points per contest. Jones delivered at least one tackle in each of his team's 12 games and had multiple stops in two-thirds of those appearances. He did not back down against stiff competition, as two of his season-best marks - a six-tackle effort and a five-stop performance - came against FBS opponent Pittsburgh and FCS power Lehigh. Jones became the second Duke in program history to earn NEC Defensive Rookie of the Year distinction, joining Nathan Stone, who pocketed the award in 2014. - NEC Football

2025 NEC OFFENSIVE ROOKIE OF THE YEAR (COACHES): WR Ryan Petras, Duquesne, Fr, 5-9, 180, Bethel Park, Pa/Bethel Park,...Thanks to Petras, the NEC Offensive Rookie of the Year award remains in Pittsburgh, as he follows in the footsteps of teammate Shawn Solomon, Jr. The local product from Bethal Park, PA settled in and hit his stride during a dominant four-game stretch against league foes that resulted in the Dukes topping the opposition by a whopping average of 31.5 points. In that span, Petras, who reached the end zone on his first career catch and his first career rush, was twice named the NEC/Atlantic Tomorrow's Office Rookie of the Week, with his first career distinction coming after he more than tripled his season yardage and caught two touchdowns in a 34-14 triumph over Stonehill on Oct. 4. On the season, he tallied 249 receiving yards while five of his 13 catches were marked as touchdowns. - NEC Football

11/26/25 - QB Braden Atkinson, Fr/2029, Mercer + More +

2025 SOUTHERN CONFERENCE FRESHMAN OF THE YEAR (COACHES): Braden Atkinson, QB, Mercer,...Mercer's Atkinson has put together one of the best freshman seasons ever by a quarterback nationally. He needs only 370 more yards through the air to break Elon's Scott Riddle's 2007 single-season SoCon and FCS freshman passing mark of 3,817 yards. His 34 passing touchdowns broke the previous FCS freshman mark of 31 set in 2004 by New Hampshire's Ricky Santos and tied in 2007 by Riddle. Atkinson is within striking distance of Riddle's SoCon and national freshman mark of 3,738 total offensive yards, which Riddle set in 2007 at Elon. He needs five more touchdowns responsible for to catch Riddle for the SoCon's freshman record (40), also set in 2007. Atkinson is the second Mercer player in a row to earn SoCon Freshman of the Year honors, joining Andrew Zock (2024). He is the first Mercer offensive player to win the award since quarterback Kaelan Riley (2017). Atkinson ranks second among all quarterbacks nationally in passing yards per game (344.8), passing yards (3,448), completions (25.0), and touchdowns (34). He ranks third nationally among all quarterbacks in total offense (345.8), passing efficiency (173.80), yards per attempt (9.4) and points responsible for (21.0 per game). He leads all FCS freshman in passing offense (by 921 yards) and total offense (by 619 yards).

Atkinson's best game through the air this season, a 533-yard effort vs. VMI, fell only seven yards shy of the NCAA FCS freshman record for yards passing in a game. It fell one yard shy of the SoCon freshman mark, set in 2007 by Scott Riddle. Atkinson's 533 yards are the fifth most in a game in SoCon history overall. He tossed a season-high five touchdowns vs. Samford (10/4), VMI (10/25), and Chattanooga (11/15) and had at least three touchdown passes in eight of the 10 games he played during the regular season. Atkinson's current passing efficiency rating (173.80) would rank third all-time in SoCon history, regardless of class, for a season. Dickens' rating of 188.24 this season broke Michael Payton's previous mark of 181.30 set in 1991. Atkinson is one of only two quarterbacks in SoCon history to pass for more than 2,000 yards over a five-game stretch, joining Devlin Hodges (Samford). Hodges did so three times over two different seasons. Atkinson's stretch of six consecutive games with at least 300 passing yards is second in SoCon history behind Riddle's nine-game stretch in 2007. - SoCon Football

11/26/25 - DE Andrew Zock, So/2028, Mercer + More +

2025 SOUTHERN CONFERENCE DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR (COACHES): Andrew Zock, So., DL, Mercer,...Mercer's Zock is the second Bear to be named Defensive Player of the Year, joining former teammate Brayden Manley (2024). Zock finished the regular season ranked second nationally in tackles for loss per game (1.81), sixth nationally in sacks per game (1.04), and is among the national leaders with 22 quarterback hurries. Zock's 20 tackles for loss and 11.5 sacks are both new career-high totals and raise his career totals to 34.5 tackles for loss and 18.5 sacks in only 25 games played. Zock was the 2024 SoCon Freshman of the Year.

Zock had five games with multiple sacks and seven games with multiple tackles for loss. His most productive outing came on Sept. 13 vs. Wofford, with eight tackles, 4.5 for loss, a sack and two hurries. He registered at least a half TFL in all but two games in 2025. Zock's most efficient game came on Oct. 25 vs. VMI, when he had two solo stops, both sacks, and four quarterback hurries. Behind Zock's pressure, the Mercer defense ranks first nationally in team sacks, third in first-down defense, fourth in rushing defense, fourth in team TFL, and 17th in third down defense. The Bears also rank in the top 25 nationally in red zone defense. - SoCon Football

2025 SOUTHERN CONFERENCE ROY M. "LEGS" HAWLEY OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR (COACHES): Taron Dickens, QB, R-So., Western Carolina,...Entering postseason play, Western Carolina's Dickens leads FCS football in seven offensive categories, including passing yards (3,508), completion percentage (.742) and passing TDs (38). His 38 touchdown passes set a new SoCon record for passing touchdowns in a season. Dickens passing efficiency rating of 188.24 this season broke Michael Payton's previous mark of 181.30 set in 1991. Dickens claimed SoCon Offensive Player of the Week three times this season, most recently on Monday after a four-touchdown performance at VMI. The other two wins came on Sept. 22 and Oct. 6.

On Oct. 4 at Wofford, Dickens completed his first 46 passes of the contest, setting a new NCAA record in the process. Dickens' performance against the Terriers led to him being named the Stats Perform FCS National Player of the Year. He was named honorable mention for the national honor on four other occasions. Combined with his final four completions from the week before at Campbell, Dickens' multi-game NCAA record is 50 consecutive completions. Dickens is the second Catamount quarterback in the past three seasons to be recognized as the conference's offensive player of the year, as Cole Gonzales received the honor from the media in 2023. - SoCon Football

Center Mike Sellers (2012) and tackle Isaiah Pinson (2016) are the other two Bulldogs to earn the prestigious honor.

The senior led the conference with 8.0 sacks and consistently generated pressure at a level rarely seen from an interior lineman. His blend of power, leverage, and burst routinely forced offenses to alter protections and abandon interior run schemes. Proctor anchored a Southeastern Louisiana defense that finished top 10 nationally in total defense and top 12 nationally in scoring defense.
