CAA POTY and All-CAA Awards
Defensive Player of the Year: Andrew Ankrah

Ankrah was a disruptive force on the James Madison defensive line. The senior defensive end led the Dukes and ranked second in the CAA with 13.5 tackles for loss and was fourth in the conference with 7.5 sacks. Ankrah recorded 45 total tackles, forced two fumbles, and recovered two fumbles, one of which he returned 23 yards for a key touchdown in a victory at Delaware. He played a key role on a JMU defense that leads the nation in several categories, including scoring defense (9.0 ppg) and total defense (228.2 ypg). Ankrah is one of 25 finalists for the Buck Buchanan Award, which honors the top defensive player in FCS football.

Special Teams Player of the Year: John Miller

Miller averaged 11.7 yards on 18 punt returns, which led the CAA and ranked 11th in the nation. The senior had a 41-yard punt return for a touchdown in JMU’s victory over East Tennessee State. He also contributed as a receiver, making 33 catches for 355 yards and touchdown.

Chuck Boone Leadership and Excellence Award: Bryan Schor

Schor was the recipient of the prestigious Chuck Boone Leadership and Excellence Award, an honor that embodies the highest standards of leadership, integrity, teamwork and sportsmanship in academics and athletics. The senior quarterback once again excelled on the field, completing 192-of-280 passes for 2,257 yards and 21 touchdowns, while also rushing for 268 yards and 6 TD’s. The Dukes’ captain, who is majoring in marketing, led his team to a perfect 11-0 season and a No. 1 national ranking. The Boone Award is selected by the CAA Football athletics directors.

RE: CAA POTY and All-CAA Awards
Honestly, I'm shocked that Brown isn't 1st team. Tied for second in the nation with 6 INTs and flies all over the field - probably our most disruptive player getting into the backfield that isn't on our DL. I guess they couldn't put everyone on first team defense...then again...

And show me an CAA team that wouldn't want Cornell Urquhart starting? He had a great year too.

1st team offense seemed like all Stoney Brook and Richmond.

There you go. That’s the reason. Remember the participation trophy nature of the potw awards, this is probably the same. Someone said “we better give it to some other teams”.

Stony Brook had 4 first teamers on Offense, we had one, for whatever that is worth. I am really hopeful that our Offense will perform at a significantly higher level in the playoffs, than during the regular season.

Hopefully more bulletin board & pre-game speech material for post season. Believe 6 ticks made 1st team, really? They can hold their awards while watching the playoffs on the tube.

CAA continues to embarrass itself by not giving Houston coach of the year and leaving Jordan Brown off the first team.

CAA POTY and All-CAA Awards
am I being greedy by wondering how Curtis Oliver is not on this list? I realize he's a nickel guy and I don't have stats as to how often we're in nickel. But there are games when I think he's one of our best defensive players. Didn't even make 3rd team??

RE: CAA POTY and All-CAA Awards
All our guys should be on D should be all conference but there are always politics in play. No excuse for Brown not to be first team - has been a game changer all year. Cornell Urquhart has been a monster as well. Our d line is just plain nasty. Our talent will continue to shine bright throughout the playoffs. On top of that our team is full of humble and outstanding young men. Couldn’t be more proud of our Dukes !

RE: CAA POTY and All-CAA Awards
I thought Kyre Hawkins was going to be DPOY. I'd be curious to know how the voting for that award broke down.

On a different thread I said something to the effect that the entire JMU secondary could be 1st team all-CAA, but probably wouldn't happen. Well, they got pretty darn close. If I was to have guessed, it would have been that one of the CBs was left off and not Brown.

So Urquhart and Maginley were the only two regular starters who didn't make a team. Crazy.

I thought Jordan Brown had a better year than Greene, though they have both played very well.

My 1st thought as well. So I looked at the stats for the other 1st team safety. Nassir Adderly had 5 INTs to Brown's 6.

Looking at CAA games only stats (which I would imagine what they would look at for CAA honors)
INTs: Brown 5, Adderly 4
Tackles: Adderly 10th at 8.4 per game. Brown not in the top 50. 50th was Hereford at 5.7 per game, Brown was about 5.4 per game (59 in 8 CAA games).

I didn't see stats for pass breakups. Anyway, since INTs are only 1 stat to judge a safety by, it doesn't look like a huge snub.

I think we could have seen two or three more players on that list if it weren't for injuries and suspensions. But still crazy to think that despite only having 1 first team guy the team went 11-0 (for comparison W&M also had 1 but went 2-9, Richmond had 5 and went 6-5). Really speaks to the studs on the defensive side of the ball.

RE: CAA POTY and All-CAA Awards
I think Hereford would be 1st/2nd team if he hadn't been suspended for the first 4 games. Leaving Uruqhart out seems crazy. Also, I know he's not a starter, but Ron'Dell Carter deserves praise, too.

Good chance. On the 1 hand, 3 of the 4 games he missed were OOC. He only missed 1 CAA game, On the other hand (according to the defensive stats) didn't start the next 2. Started the last 5.

So if not suspended, instead of played in 7 CAA games, started 5, 3rd team All CAA, could have been started all 8 CAA games, 1st or (more likely) 2nd team All CAA..

I don't know the guys and I'm speculating, but I'd bet most of the guys could care less.

They only care about the end of the year trophy. Even a guy like brown who clearly deserved first team.

That's what's great about this squad. No I in team with them. All about that natty.

yes, what do you have to do to get coach of the year if you don't get it after winning 23 games straight
