All Mid-South Conference Bluegrass Football Teams announced

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. -- The 2020-21 All Mid-South Conference Bluegrass Division teams and individual award winners were announced by conference officials on Thursday.

Lindsey Wilson's (Ky.) Cameron Dukes repeated as the Craig Mullins MSC Bluegrass Offensive Player of the Year, while Georgetown's (Ky.) DJ White is the MSC Bluegrass Defensive Player of the Year.

The individual awards and all-conference teams are selected by a vote of the Bluegrass Division's coaches. Coaches are not allowed to vote for their own players.

In addition to the players of the year, Campbellsville's (Ky.) Chase Elmore is the Bluegrass Offensive Freshman of the Year and Bethel's (Tenn.) David Riggan is the Bluegrass Defensive Freshman of the Year. Lindsey Wilson's Chris Oliver is the 2020-21 Ron Finley Bluegrass Division Coach of the Year.

Dukes helped the Blue Raiders capture the Bluegrass Division title throwing for 1,682 yards and 24 touchdowns in just seven games this season. He added 214 rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns to help Lindsey Wilson post a 7-0 record and the automatic bid into the NAIA Football Championship Series. Dukes leads the MSC averaging 270.9 total yards of offense per game. His 24 touchdown passes also leads the conference.

White recorded 31 tackles during the season while helping the Tigers (6-1) earn an at-large bid into the NAIA FCS. White's 4-1/2 sacks and eight tackles for a loss ranks seventh in the MSC. White's Tigers surrendered just 17 points per game -- fifth best in the conference and 18th in the NAIA.

Elmore completed 57-percent of his passes for 806 yards and eight touchdowns for the Tigers. Riggan posted 33 tackles, including seven for a loss with 1-1-2 sacks for the Wildcats.

Oliver picks up his fourth Coach of the Year honor after guiding Lindsey Wilson to its third perfect regular season and fourth divisional title. Lindsey Wilson enters the FCS as the third overall seed.

Twenty-nine players earned first team all-conference honors and 28 were selected second team all-conference as voted on by the coaches. Ties for all-conference teams were not broken.

Bethel's Jakobe Griffin and Devious Christmon were named to the 1st team.

Bethel's Cole Lyles, Trace Pierce, Caleb Roebuck. De'Ontay Tate, Riggan, Jerwin Young, Afiz Bhadmos and Caleb Hall were named to the 2nd team.
