He had three interceptions on the year, fifth most in the conference, returning those interceptions for 81 yards (fourth in the MIAA).<br /><br />Sampson ended the year with a career game against Missouri Western, throwing for 374 yards and 4 touchdowns. In total, Sampson threw 25 touchdowns, tying him for most in a single-season in Southern history. He was efficient with the ball, ranking third in the MIAA and 21st in the NCAA at 155.9, and led the conference with an average of 20 yards per completion. Only seven interceptions were thrown by Sampson, and he only had one multi-interception game. On the flip side, he threw multiple touchdowns in nine of the eleven contests.<br /><br />Tapusoa was another member of the stagnant offensive line that gave up just eight sacks and 20 tackles for loss this year, both leading the MIAA.<br /><br />Wright was an anchor on the defensive side of the ball, plugging running holes and applying pass pressure. One of his biggest plays of the year came against #3 Pittsburg State, as he returned a fumble recovery 26 yards for a defensive touchdown. That defensive touchdown was one of MSSU's five on the year, ranking first in the MIAA and fifth in the NCAA.<br /><br />The complete All-MIAA team is listed below.<br /><br />2023 MIAA POSTSEASON AWARDS<br />Offensive Player of the Year - Zach Zebrowski, Quarterback - Central Missouri<br />Defensive Player of the Year - Dakari Streeter, Defensive Lineman - Missouri Western<br />Special Teams Player of the Year - Ross Brungardt, Punter/Kicker - Emporia State<br />Freshman of the Year - Seth Cromwell, Running Back - Missouri Western<br />Coach of the Year - Josh Lamberson - Central Missouri<br /><br />FIRST TEAM<br />Quarterback - Braden Gleason - Emporia State*<br />Quarterback - Zach Zebrowski - Central Missouri*<br />Running Back - Jay Harris - Northwest Missouri<br />Wide Receiver - Tyler Kahmann - Emporia State<br />Wide Receiver - Arkell Smith - Central Missouri*<br />Wide Receiver - Jaylen Varner - Emporia State<br />Tight End/Fullback - Devon Garrison - Pittsburg State<br />All-Purpose Back - Marcellous Hawkins - Central Missouri<br />Offensive Line - Gabe Clark - Central Missouri*<br />Offensive Line - Sherman Deaton - Emporia State<br />Offensive Line - Layne Grantham - Central Oklahoma<br />Offensive Line - Trase Jeffries - Pittsburg State*<br />Offensive Line - Keith Russell - Missouri Western*<br />Kicker - Cody Watson - Missouri Western<br /><br />Defensive Line - Jake Fisher - Northwest Missouri<br />Defensive Line - Dubem Okonkwo - Pittsburg State<br />Defensive Line - David Olajiga - Central Missouri<br />Defensive Line - Dakari Streeter - Missouri Western*<br />Defensive Line - Jordan Williams - Emporia State<br />Linebacker - Jack Barkley - Pittsburg State<br />Linebacker - Alex Gaskill - Pittsburg State<br />Linebacker - John Johnson - Fort Hays State<br />Defensive Back - Michael Lacey - Pittsburg State*<br />Defensive Back - Wyryor Noil - Central Missouri<br />Defensive Back - Rico Payton - Pittsburg State<br />Defensive Back - Cahleel Smith - Northwest Missouri<br />Punter - Ross Brungardt - Emporia State*<br />*Indicates unanimous selection<br /><br />SECOND TEAM<br />Quarterback - Chad Dodson, Jr. - Pittsburg State<br />Running Back - Marcellous Hawkins - Central Missouri<br />Wide Receiver - Demarcus Gregory - Central Missouri<br />Wide Receiver - Kashan Griffin - Northwest Missouri<br />Wide Receiver - Jack Pospisil - Central Missouri<br />Wide Receiver - Trevor Watts - Fort Hays State<br />Tight End/Fullback - <a href="https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fmssulions.com%2Fservices%2Fgo.ashx%2Ff4d1c5a6-20c1-4ea7-ac0d-23cc3788a01c%3Felinkdata%3D528382&data=05%7C01%7C%7C131bd86728674052bd2808dbe538b137%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C638355803917593113%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=RDdhnYO9Xcc6aHibSD2Jjr1dNwkljpAwSsjxV1jvx94%3D&reserved=0">Deontay Campbell</a> - Missouri Southern<br />All-Purpose Back - Billy Ross, Jr. - Emporia State<br />Offensive Line - Evan Clark - Missouri Western<br />Offensive Line - Andrew Funk - Washburn<br />Offensive Line - Zane Madison - Pittsburg State<br />Offensive Line - Derec Weyer - Northwest Missouri<br />Offensive Line - Liam Wortmann - Central Missouri<br />Kicker - Austin Schmidt - Pittsburg State<br />Kick/Punter Returner - DJ Bell - Washburn</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /><script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-9838284114036134"
