  2019 ALL-SOUTH ATLANTIC CONFERENCE FOOTBALL FIRST TEAM: DL Keito Jordon, Newberry,...The senior from Hopkins is making his second appearance on the all-conference first team after receiving the honor following the 2017 season. He totaled 57 tackles on the season, ranking fourth on the team, but was best known for his work in the backfield. Jordon ranked second in the SAC with 16 tackles for loss and fourth with 8.5 sacks. He also added a forced fumble, two fumble recoveries, and a pass breakup to his team-high 11 quarterback hurries.

Jordon's four tackles for loss against Florida Tech ranked among the top 10 single-game performances in school history. He also ranks fourth in Newberry history with 37.5 career tackles for loss and sixth with 19.5 sacks despite playing just three seasons in Scarlet and Gray. His inclusion on the first team gives Newberry seven consecutive seasons with at least one first team defensive lineman. - Newberry Football

  2019 ALL-SOUTH ATLANTIC CONFERENCE FOOTBALL SECOND TEAM: WR Deshun Kitchings, Newberry,...Kitchings had a breakout sophomore campaign as the favorite target of Colton Bailey and Dre Harris. The sophomore from Aiken finished second in the SAC with 726 yards on 39 receptions and caught four touchdowns, two of which came on the longest pass plays of the 2019 season at 64 and 63 yards.

The sophomore Aiken native averaged nearly 19 yards per reception and ranked third in the league with 66 yards per game. His 178 yards on six catches at Wingate were tied for the eighth-most in a single game in school history. He also added 71 rushing yards and a touchdown on seven carries. - Newberry Football

  2019 ALL-SOUTH ATLANTIC CONFERENCE FOOTBALL SECOND TEAM: OL Tyler Anderson, Newberry,...Anderson, also a second team selection in 2017, has started all 11 games this season and played in 44 games as a mainstay on Newberry's offensive line. A versatile player, the senior from Anderson has started at nearly every position along the line in his career, including the first six games of the season at center before alternating between left tackle and center over the second half of the season. He helped pave the way for four 100-yard rushers this season, including Chance Walker's school record-setting 261 yard performance at Catawba that included a conference record six touchdowns. The Wolves' 432 rushing yards and 589 total yards in that game were the second- and fifth-highest totals of the last 20 years, respectively. - Newberry Football

  2019 ALL-SOUTH ATLANTIC CONFERENCE FOOTBALL SECOND TEAM: LS Travis Morgan, Newberry,...Morgan, in his fifth year of eligibility after graduating in May, was incredibly consistent at the long snapper position this season. He didn't have a poor snap all season, and as the only long snapper on the travel roster, gritted through an injury suffered during the game at Wingate to give the Wolves a viable option at the position. Morgan's All-SAC selection is Newberry's fifth all-time at the long snapper position and fourth this decade. - Newberry Football

  2019 PRESEASON ALL-SAC FOOTBALL SECOND TEAM: RB Austin Barnes, Newberry,...Barnes led the team in rushing for the second consecutive season as a junior in 2018, finishing fourth in the SAC with 67.7 yards on the ground per game and fifth with 745 total yards. He added five touchdowns. He topped the century mark three times, including a career-high 128 yards on 20 carries in the season opener at Western Carolina.

He is currently in a three-way tie for 10th in school history with five 100-yard games on the ground in his career. A consistent ballcarrier, Barnes averaged 4.4 yards per carry in 2018 and has gotten back to the line of scrimmage on nearly 93 percent of his career rushing attempts. - Newberry Football

  2019 PRESEASON ALL-SAC FOOTBALL SECOND TEAM: OL Tyler Anderson, Newberry,...Anderson is a Preseason Second Team All-Conference selection for the third time in his career. The senior started all 11 games in 2018, primarily at center with four games split between both tackle positions. Anderson led the team with 44 knockdown blocks on the season. He was beaten just once all year for a sack and had only three penalties called against him. He was a Second Team All-SAC selection as a sophomore in 2017 and has played in 33 games with 26 starts entering his senior season. - Newberry Football

  2019 PRESEASON ALL-SAC FOOTBALL SECOND TEAM: WR Bobby Irby, Newberry,...A sophomore in 2018, Irby started all 11 games and was an excellent complement to three-time all-conference selection Markell Castle. Irby was the Wolves' second-leading receiver, ranking in the top 15 in the SAC in both receptions (36) and receiving yards (352).

The Irmo native had at least one catch in every game with a high of 66 yards and a touchdown on six catches at Western Carolina. He also returned punts for the Wolves in 2018, ranking 18th in Division II with 12.6 yards per return and compiling the eighth-most return yards in a single season in school history. - Newberry Football

  2019 PRESEASON ALL-SAC FOOTBALL SECOND TEAM: DB David Vereen, Newberry,...Vereen burst onto the scene late in the 2017 season and became a Second Team All-SAC selection in 2018. He had a pair of interceptions, both in the Carson-Newman game, with one returned for a touchdown. His 15 passes defended last season ranked 12th nationally and second in school history since becoming an official NCAA statistic in 2000.

The converted wide receiver made 31 tackles from his cornerback position and had five games with multiple passes broken. He was a key piece of a Newberry secondary that held eight opponents, including six straight to end the season, to a completion percentage of 50 percent or less, tied for the national lead with five passing touchdowns allowed, and ranked in the top 15 in passing defense and passing efficiency defense. - Newberry Football

  2019 PRESEASON ALL-SAC FOOTBALL SECOND TEAM: DL Keito Jordon, Newberry,...Jordon was a 2017 First Team All-SAC performer from his defensive end position and is a preseason selection for the second time in his career. He played in and started 10 games and made 31 tackles, eight of which were behind the line of scrimmage. He had four sacks, six quarterback hurries, and combined for a stop on Newberry's first safety in three years.

The Hampton transfer was a key contributor to Newberry holding each of its final 10 opponents below its season average in total offense and its high national rankings in passing defense (10th), total defense (11th), and scoring defense (13th). Jordon ranked in the top 15 in the SAC last season in both sacks and tackles for loss and is nearing the top 10 in school history in both categories despite only playing two seasons in Scarlet and Gray. - Newberry Football

  2019 PRESEASON ALL-SAC FOOTBALL FIRST TEAM: P Shea Rodgers, Newberry,...The senior Indian Land native punted 56 times in 2018 for a 43.2-yard average, the second-best single-season average in school history. He forced 18 fair catches, placed 24 punts inside the 20-yard line, and had 12 punts of 50 or more yards, including a 70-yard boot against Lenoir-Rhyne that came within six yards of Newberry's all-time record that had stood for 50 years.

He won back-to-back SAC Player of the Week awards in September and was named D2Football.com's National Co-Special Teams Player of the Week for his work in the Carson-Newman game that included two punts of over 50 yards and a pair of field goals. He was named an Honorable Mention All-American by Football Gazette and was a Second Team All-region selection by two publications. - Newberry Football
