West Alabama running back Matt Willis (SR, 5-8, 205, Collins, MS).
Willis earns his fourth career award and second this season after leading No. 23 UWA’s rushing attack in the Tigers’ 39-28 victory at No. 16 Valdosta State. The senior ran for a game-high 178 yards on 27 carries for a 6.6 per carry average, while also adding one reception for 18 yards. His rushing total and attempts were the highest by any player in the GSC so far this season. The Collins, MS native enters next week’s home contest against West Georgia trailing UWA’s all-time rushing mark by three yards.
