Six football players named All-PFL; McDermott wins top defensive award
Morehead State football had six players honored by the Pioneer Football League Tuesday, headlined by Eagle senior linebacker Wes McDermott who was selected as the PFL Defensive Player of the Year.
MSU had two players named to the All-PFL First Team defense, McDermott and senior defensive tackle Derik Steiner. Senior offensive lineman Jake Nail was named to the All-PFL Second Team offense. Senior defensive end Andrew Doan and junior safety J.D. Cecil both earned All-PFL Second Team defense honors. Cecil’s secondary partner, senior Derek Harkness, earned All-PFL Honorable Mention.
McDermott won the league’s Defensive Player of the Year honor after finishing the regular-season ranked second in tackles (9.9 pg) and third in tackles-for-loss (1.50 pg). He led all linebackers in tackles (109), posting 14 more than the next closest follower. McDermott led a Morehead State defense that finished the season ranked second in total defense, allowing just 266.3 yards per game, and led the league in rushing defense, permitting a paltry 72.5 yards per game on the ground.
Steiner had 38 total tackles and 12.5 tackles for loss. Nail was a team leader and an anchor for an injury-depleted offensive line this season. Doan had nine sacks and was second only to McDermott in tackles for loss with 14.5. Cecil had two interceptions, including one touchdown and another return for a touchdown to set up a win for MSU, and Harkness had three picks versus Butler.
The Eagles closed out the season at 3-8, finishing last Saturday with a 29-6 win at Valparaiso.
