Wabash junior Matt Hudson (Salem, IN/Salem) and Wabash senior Darryl Kennon (Tempe, AZ/McClintock) have been honored for outstanding seasons by being named North Coast Athletic Conference Players of the Year. Hudson receives the Mike Gregory Award as the NCAC’s Offensive Player of the Year. The award is presented by Richard Gregory of Columbus, in honor of his father, a multi-sport standout at Denison in the 1920s. Kennon, meanwhile, is the Defensive Player of the Year and receives the Hank Critchfield Award, commemorating the 1927 Wooster graduate.

Hudson, a junior quarterback, led the Little Giants to their third straight NCAC title and second consecutive trip to the NCAA Division III tournament. He leads the North Coast in passing yardage (263.8 yards per game), passing touchdowns (25) and passing efficiency (167.9), and is second in total offense (270.7) at the end of the regular season.

Kennon, a senior defensive lineman, dominated NCAC champion Little Giant opponents with five sacks, 12.0 tackles for losses totaling 47 yards, and 31 total stops. The Wabash defense led the league in scoring defense (14.3 points per game), rushing defense (79.6 yards allowed per game), and total defense (249.7 yards allowed per game).

Hiram freshman inside likebacker John Hull (Buford, GA/Mill Creek) is the North Coast’s Newcomer of the Year. He led the Terriers and was fifth in the NCAC in total tackles (82). Hull posted 3.5 tackles for losses, two passes defended, two fumble recoveries and three fumbles forced.

Wooster’s Mike Schmitz has been named Coach of the Year for the second time after guiding his team to second place in the conference with a 6-1 NCAC mark, 8-2 overall. In nine seasons as the Fighting Scots' mentor, Schmitz has posted a 62-30 (.674) record.
