MSSU football lands seven on All-MIAA squad

(From MSSU Lions Athletic News)

Missouri Southern sophomore linebacker Richard Jordan Jr. led a group of seven Lions to earn All-MIAA honors as the league announced its postseason awards today.

Jordan was a second-team selection this year. The Wewoka, Okla. native led the MIAA and ranked seventh nationally in tackles as he finished the season with 119 stops, which ties him for seventh-best in a single-season at MSSU. He set the single-game tackle record earlier this year with 25 tackles in a game against Washburn.

Earning Honorable Mention honors for the Lions was Jacob Park, Brian Boyd Jr, Benjamin Phillips, Keandre Bledsoe, Charles West and Colton Winder.








Park helped re-write the record books for the Lions this year. Park helped Southern set single-game record for points (86), margin of victory (79), and total offense (743), while also setting an MSSU and MIAA record with 42 first downs in a game against Northeastern State. Park also set a single-game record with five passing touchdowns and eight total touchdowns responsible for in that game. He finished the season with 3,403 passing yards which ranks second-best in a single-season at MSSU, as well as 3,385 yards of total offense, which is third-best.

Winder, as a true freshman, finished second in the MIAA this year in tackles. The Carthage native had 95 tackles with three for a loos, two interceptions and a fumble recovery. Boyd, Phillips and Bledsoe helped Park set passing records this year. Boyd was second on the team with 43 receptions for a team-high 706 yards. He averaged 16.4 yards per catch and had two touchdowns. Phillips had a team-high four touchdown receptions as he caught 36 passes for 656 yards, an average of 18.2 per catch.

Bledsoe proved to be one of the best tight ends the Lions have ever had, setting a single-season record for receptions by a tight end with 35. He had two touchdowns and 437 yards through the air for an average of 12.5 per catch. West, like Bledsoe, also set records for himself this year. The all-purpose back led the Lions with 44 receptions out of the backfield which set a new MSSU single-season mark for a running back. He had 349 yards of offense through the air with three touchdowns, while also leading the team in rushing with 676 yards and five scores.
