Recommended Posts

It's late but I'm once again doing the Mid-Major Awards, which cover the best of the best in 2018-19 from:

American
C-USA
MAC
MWC
Sun Belt
Army
BYU
UMass

Randy Moss Award (for best offensive player)
Darrell Henderson (RB), Memphis
Despite sitting out his team's bowl game, he still had more rushing yards than any non-Power RB

Joe Steffy Award (for best defensive player)
Jaylon Ferguson (DE), Louisiana Tech
He led the nation in sacks, in fact four of the top 5 in sacks came from the G5

Jason Elam Award (for best special teams player)
Dominik Eberle (PK), Utah State
He had more points than any other kicker in the non-Power 5

Ben Roethlisberger Award (Player of the Year)
Cole McDonald (QB), Hawaii
He was the top passer in the G5.

LaVell Edwards Award (Coach of the Year)
Luke Fickell, Cincinnati
He led the Bearcats to a huge turnaround from last season, including a Military Bowl win and a top 25 finish.

Ault-DeBerry Award (Mid-Major National Championship)
UCF Knights (12-1)
Though they lost their bowl game, they had enough of a cushion on other G5 teams in the polls to keep their status as the highest-ranked. Still, the fact they were able to repeat (the first repeating mid-major champ since Boise State in 2011-12) was an accomplishment in itself.
