2022 PRESEASON BILETNIKOFF AWARD WATCH LIST: Hassan Beydoun, Eastern Michigan,...Beydoun is one of five Mid-American Conference receivers named to the 42-man list. Selected to both the Athlon Sports and Phil Steele as a Preseason First Team All-MAC selection in 2022, Beydoun is coming off a historic 2021 campaign that saw him collect Second Team All-MAC honors. He set the EMU record for receptions in a season and led the MAC with 97 grabs, as he racked up 1,015 yards through the air.

Beydoun's 2021 tally ranks fourth in the Eastern Michigan record book, while he also became EMU's first 1,000-yard wide out since 2004. A nominee for the Burlsworth Trophy in 2021, the former walk-on has 167 career receptions, a number that is good for fourth-most in program history.

Former Eastern Michigan University tight end Thomas Odukoya (Almere, Netherlands-Helen Parkhurst (Garden City)) has joined the Tennessee Titans organization of the National Football League (NFL), the team and league announced today, May 3. Odukoya is one of just four athletes, paired down from 13 originally, selected for a spot in the NFL's International Player Pathway program. Instituted in 2017, the program aims to provide elite international athletes the opportunity to compete at the NFL level, improve their skills, and ultimately earn a spot on an NFL roster.

Last season, two players who entered the NFL through the IPP program, Jakob Johnson of the New England Patriots and Jordan Mailata of the Philadelphia Eagles, recorded their 1000th career snap. They join Efe Obada of the Buffalo Bills in IPP players to reach this milestone in their NFL Career. Given the program's success to date, the NFL widened its search for international talent, hosting combines in England and Mexico this past October with 56 players from 16 countries participating. In 2022, the league identified 13 top athletes from nine countries, including Odukoya, that competed for a place in the program. - Ann Arbor News

2021 ALL-MAC SECOND TEAM (COACHES): Wide Receiver - Hassan Beydoun, Eastern Michigan,...Earning honors for the second straight season after being named to the All-MAC third team in 2020, Beydoun brings home a second team nod in 2021. One of this year's nominees for the Burlsworth Trophy, awarded to the nation's best former walk-on, Beydoun has been a critical factor in the explosiveness of the EMU offense this year. Beydoun has recorded three games with 10+ catches this season. He is currently one of only three players in the NCAA to have three-or-more such games (Jerreth Sterns - Western Kentucky.; Drake London - Southern California).

Beydoun was electric in EMU's win at Toledo, Nov. 2. He finished the game with a career-high 197 reception yards on 12 catches. Additionally, the wideout's effort is the 14th best by any player in the NCAA this season. The 197 yards is the most by any Eagle receiver in a game this year and the second-best effort by any player in the MAC. The Dearborn, Mich. native hauled in a season-long 64-yard touchdown in EMU's opening drive of the second half against the Rockets. The reception was the second-longest of Beydoun's career, just two yards shy of the 66-yard catch he recorded at Western Michigan, Dec. 5, 2020. - Eastern Michigan Football

Turan Rush forced a fourth-quarter fumble and Russell Vaden IV recovered to set up a game-winning field goal to lift Eastern Michigan past Western Michigan 22-21 on Tuesday night. After Chad Ryland kicked a 31-yard field goal to pull the Eagles with two points, 21-19, the Broncos' Kaleb Eleby ran 10 yards but was stripped by Rush and Vaden fell on the loose ball at the Broncos' 41. Jawon Hamilton ran for 11 and 22 yards on back-to-back plays and Ben Bryant powered eight yards to the Western Michigan 3 before Ryland converted on a 20-yard field goal with 3:55 left to put the Eagles up, 22-21. On Western Michigan's next possession Michael Smith Jr. picked off an Eleby pass at the Broncos' 37 and the Eagles ran out the clock.

Ryland kicked five field goals, including a pair of 31-yarders. Hassan Beydoun caught a 19-yard pass from Samson Evans that pulled Eastern Michigan within 21-16 going into the fourth quarter. Eleby completed 22 of 29 passes for 307 yards and a touchdown to lead Western Michigan (6-5, 33-4). Skyy Moore caught 12 passes for 181 yards and a 74-yard touchdown to start the second quarter.

NOV 8 MAC WEST DIVISION DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Jose Ramirez, Eastern Michigan, Defensive End, Sophomore, Lake Alfred, Fla.

The Lake Alfred, Fla. native led all Eagles in the following categories: tackles (10), sacks (2.0), TFLs (3.0), forced fumbles (1), quarterback hurries (1 - tied for first). The 10 tackles sets a career-high for Ramirez, while his two sacks tied for a career-best, set last year at Western Michigan, Dec. 5. As a defense, EMU racked up a season-best five sacks for 29 yards against the Rockets. Ramirez was responsible for two of those sacks. Ramirez's effort was critical in a historic, 52-49, win for EMU. Not only did Eastern win at Toledo's Glass Bowl for the first time since 1999, but the team is now bowl eligible for the sixth time in program history and the fourth time since 2016. - MAC Football
