  2021 ALL-MAC SECOND TEAM (COACHES): Punter - Jake Julien, Eastern Michigan,...Julien, the reigning MAC West Special Teams Player of the Week, has already slotted himself as the best in school history. EMU's all-time record holder in punt average at 44.0 yards per kick, Julien has 9,494 yards on 216 tries.

  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

  2021 ALL-MAC FIRST TEAM (COACHES): Offensive Lineman - Sidy Sow, Eastern Michigan,...Earning All-MAC accolades for the second time in his career, Sow emerged as one of the most dominant offensive linemen in the conference this season. Helping to anchor EMU's experienced group in the trench, Sow has been a major factor in building the EMU offense into one of the best scoring units in the Mid-American Conference in 2021. Averaging 31.0 points per game, EMU has put up 372 total points on 46 touchdowns, 15 field goals, and 45 extra points. - Eastern Michigan Football

  2021 ALL-SUN BELT HONORABLE MENTION (COACHES): RB - Braydon Bennett (RS Fr., RB - Greenville, S.C.),...Also picking up honorable mention accolades was Bennett, a key part of the leading rushing attack in the Sun Belt this season. The redshirt freshman has shown his versatility all season long with 68 carries for 528 yards and five touchdowns on the ground and 20 receptions for 248 yards and a touchdown in the passing game. He is averaging 12.4 yards per catch and a team-high 7.8 yards per rush on the season out of the backfield. His 7.8 yards per carry on the season leads the Sun Belt and would be among the nation's leaders if he met the minimum requirements for the number of carries per game, while his 528 yards on the ground rank 12th overall. His average of 7.5 yards per rush in conference play also led the Sun Belt, while his 330 yards on the ground were 17th overall. - Coastal Carolina 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. (Auburndale) Toledo,...Sophomore defensive end Jose Ramirez put together a career-best effort against Toledo, Nov. 2. 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

  Troy head coach Chip Lindsey announced Thursday that Taylor Powell will be the Trojans' starting quarterback heading into the team's season opener against Southern next weekend. The announcement ends a QB battle between Powell and Gunnar Watson, which began in the spring. "Both guys competed extremely hard and both of them improved a great deal," Lindsey said. "Anytime you have competition like that, it makes everyone better. This year we're going into the season with the luxury of having two guys that have played college football and that's always a plus. At the end of the day, it's a competition and we have to go with one guy. We feel like Taylor is going to give us the best opportunity to win as a football team."

Powell, a junior on the field, joined the Trojans in January after transferring into the program from Missouri. A former Mr. Football in the state of Arkansas, Powell started one game in his career - at Georgia - for the Tigers and saw action in 12 total contests. He sat out the 2020 season due to COVID-19 concerns and graduated from Missouri in three years. He led Fayetteville High School to a pair of Arkansas 7A state titles (2015, 2016) and threw for 3,473 yards and 44 touchdowns as a senior. He ranks fifth in Arkansas prep history with 10,431 career passing yards and eighth with 113 touchdown passes. - Troy Messenger

  Troy newcomer Taylor Powell is in a battle for the starting quarterback position with last year's starter Gunnar Watson. It's been a busy offseason for the Troy newcomer. Along with participating in the Manning Passing Academy, Powell has spent every possible moment either on the field or mentally preparing for the upcoming season by studying the playbook and watching film. "Just grinding with the guys, watching a lot of film," Powell said. "Early mornings, throwing and meeting with the guys. Just trying to get the offense on the same page. I feel like we are where we need to be heading into fall camp." Powell comes to Troy after playing parts of two seasons for the Missouri Tigers.

Powell saw action in six games in 2018 and 2019. He completed 35-of-75 passes for 431 yards. He had one start in his sophomore season in 2019. Powell arrived at Troy in time for spring practice. At the start of fall camp, Powell believes he is more comfortable with the offense. "In the spring everybody goes through their growing pains with a new offense," Powell said. "Now, I feel like we are really clicking. I'm super comfortable and I feel like I'm executing what coach is calling. I'm excited and very comfortable." - Troy Messenger
