  GUARDIAN FCS KICKOFF PLAYERS TO WATCH: Baniko Harley, WR,...Baniko Harley proved to be a jack of all trades in 2019, with touchdowns as a passer (1), runner (4) and receiver (7). In a season filled with highlight-reel moments, he added another at Sacramento State, running for two touchdowns and catching another, including a 45-yard dash for a touchdown on a direct snap with the Govs facing 4th-and-1, which capped a drive that started with his own on-side kick recovery. The Govs might have the FCS’ most potent 1-2 punch among receiver corps. Harley, who also was a Preseason First Team All-OVC selection, set career highs in receptions (53) and yards (839) last season. - Austin Peay Football

  2020 PHIL STEELE/DRAFTSCOUT PRESEASON ALL-FCS THIRD TEAM: DB Kordell Jackson, Austin Peay, Sr.,...What more can be rehashed about Jackson's 2019 campaign? The Birmingham, Alabama product led the OVC with seven interceptions and ultimately was responsible for 10 of the Govs 25 turnovers gained last season. Moreover, when he wasn't providing lockdown protection, Jackson could often be found in the opposing backfield, with eight of his 47 tackles resulting in lost yardage. - Austin Peay Football

  Austin Peay coach Mark Hudspeth has resigned after one season on the job that included him taking the Governors to a program-record 11 wins and a trip to the FCS quarterfinals. Athletic director Gerald Harrison announced Hudspeth's resignation Friday. The resignation is effective immediately. Harrison is keeping the rest of the coaching staff. Under Hudspeth, Austin Peay won its second Ohio Valley Conference championship and made its first postseason appearance. The Governors beat Furman and Sacramento State before losing to Montana State in the quarterfinals. He was named the OVC coach of the year. Hudspeth said in a statement released by Austin Peay that it was a personal decision and that he needs to spend time with his wife and children. He says he will return to coaching at the right time. Austin Peay is scheduled to start practice July 31. - AP College Football

  2019 AFCA FCS COACHES' FIRST TEAM ALL-AMERICAN: DB Kordell Jackson, Jr., Austin Peay St.,...Under the tutelage of first-year nickels coach Keith Scott, Jackson has racked up seven interceptions to lead the Ohio Valley Conference, with his two fumble recoveries good for third. Jackson took two interceptions back for touchdowns against Mercer and returned a fumble for a score against Murray State. In addition to becoming the 33rd player in FCS history with multiple pick-sixes in a game, Jackson added a late strip-sack at Mercer as well.

His playoff debut against Furman saw Jackson make a season-high six tackles, including one for loss, with a fumble forced and recovered. Overall, the Birmingham, Alabama native has registered 43 tackles (35 solo), with seven tackles for loss and two sacks. He has forced and recovered two fumbles, adding three pass break-ups and three quarterback hurries to his ledger of disruption. Jackson's 159 interception return yards both led the OVC in 2019 and ranked second in program history behind only Howell Flatt's 1966 campaign. - Austin Peay Football

  Austin Peay has rewarded coach Mark Hudspeth with a contract extension through 2024 after his debut season resulted in the Governor's first playoff appearance. Athletic director Gerald Harrison announced the deal Monday, saying he knew a year ago Austin Peay had hired the right person for the job. Harrison said in a statement that Hudspeth and his staff have exceeded his expectations. Hudspeth led Austin Peay (11-4) to its first Ohio Valley Conference title since 1977. The Governors also beat Furman and Sacramento State to reach the final eight in the FCS playoffs before losing to Montana State. Hudspeth was named the OVC coach of the year. - AP College Football

  2019 ALL-OHIO VALLEY CONFERENCE FIRST TEAM (COACHES): Kyle Anderton, Austin Peay,...Two of the line stalwarts for a unit which leads the OVC in scoring (35.3 ppg), total offense (429.8 ypg), third-down conversions (43.3 percent) and fourth-down conversions (63.6 percent), Blake Mitchell and Kyle Anderton also anchored a line which allowed just 0.67 sacks per game, ranking fourth nationally.

  2019 ALL-OHIO VALLEY CONFERENCE FIRST TEAM (COACHES): Kentel Williams, Austin Peay,...Austin Peay's versatile back excelled and finished third in the OVC with 773 rushing yards despite missing much of three games due to injury. His nine rushing touchdowns ranked second among league runners, and he supplemented those efforts with 26 catches for 192 yards and two more touchdowns receiving, setting or tying career highs in all three categories. A consensus top-five rusher in Austin Peay history, Williams is less than 200 yards on the ground from becoming the third player in program history with 3,000 career rushing yards. - Austin Peay Football

  2019 ALL-OHIO VALLEY CONFERENCE FIRST TEAM (COACHES): JaVaughn Craig, Austin Peay,...When pressed into action after Jeremiah Oatsvall was lost for the regular season, the senior responded with a monster final campaign, throwing for 2,567 yards and 22 touchdowns on 180-of-318 through the air, and rushing for 547 yards on 105 carries and eight scores as a complementary threat out of the backfield. His 141.0 pass efficiency led the conference and ranked 31st in the NCAA, while his 22 scores ranked second and 21st, respectively. He also averaged 14.3 yards per completion, 12th in the NCAA and first in the league. He's the first Austin Peay quarterback since Sonny Defilippis in 1980 to earn first-team All-OVC honors. - Austin Peay Football

  2019 ALL-OHIO VALLEY CONFERENCE FIRST TEAM (COACHES): DB - Juantarius Bryant, Austin Peay,...After a second-team nod a year ago, the senior captain garnered first team All-OVC honors in his final season in Clarksville, finishing second among Govs in tackles (90) and third in pass break-ups (4). Whether stuffing the run or providing protection over top, the versatile safety proved he could do it all in a new scheme; alongside Jackson, the duo are the first Austin Peay teammates to earn first-team All-OVC honors in the defensive backfield since Mike Betts, Lynn Hailstock and Joe Grimsley in 1977. - Austin Peay Football

  2019 ALL-OHIO VALLEY CONFERENCE FIRST TEAM (COACHES): DB - Kordell Jackson, Austin Peay,...The ball found its way into Kordell Jackson's hands often in 2019. The Birmingham, Alabama native led the OVC with seven interceptions, more than double the next-closest finisher, and also added a fumble recovery. Jackson's 159 interception return yards both led the OVC in 2019 and ranked second in program history behind only Howell Flatt's 1966 campaign. When he wasn't providing lockdown protection, Jackson could often be found in the opposing backfield, with six of his 34 tackles coming for loss. He's Austin Peay's first defensive back to earn first-team All-OVC honors since Amius Smith in 2011. - Austin Peay Football

  2019 ALL-OHIO VALLEY CONFERENCE FIRST TEAM (COACHES): DL - Josephus Smith, Austin Peay,...Smith set the program single-season record with 19.5 tackles for loss. Seemingly every game, the Leeds, Alabama native was in the backfield causing mayhem, rolling up seven contests with multiple stops behind the line of scrimmage and serving as the focal point for a run defense which led the OVC and ranked fourth nationally with just 86.5 yards per game allowed. It marks the third straight year an Austin Peay defensive lineman has earned All-OVC honors, but if we're making the distinction, he's the first who has operated primarily as a defensive tackle since Dee Peeler in 2009. - Austin Peay Football
