NOV 11 MISSOURI VALLEY FOOTBALL PLAYER OF THE WEEK NOMINEE: LB Cody Crider, Southern Illinois,...Crider had six tackles, including 4.0 tackles for loss in SIU's 37-14 win over Missouri State.

2019 BUCK BUCHANAN AWARD WATCHLIST ADDITION: DB Jeremy Chinn, Southern Illinois,...Chinn, who will be just the third player in school history to play in the Senior Bowl, has anchored the back end of SIU's defense since his freshman season, starting 32 games at either safety or cornerback. He is the fourth Saluki player in school history to receive consideration for the Buchanan Award. Previous finalists were safety Alexis Moreland (16th in 2003), linebacker Brandin Jordan (9th in 2009) and cornerback Korey Lindsey (21st in 2010). Voting for the award takes place after the regular season.

Although a foot ailment kept him out of two-and-a-half games this season, Chinn has still managed to intercept four passes and increase his career total to 13. He also has 210 career tackles, 26 pass breakups and six forced fumbles, earning a reputation as one of the most feared defenders in college football. Every NFL team has watched Chinn practice or play in person, and the Senior Bowl named him the "Top FCS Target" heading into the season. A year ago Delaware's Nasir Adderley earned the Senior Bowl's distinction and ended up as a San Diego Chargers 2nd round pick. - Southern Illinois/STATS FCS Football
