West Alabama quarterback Kyle Caldwell
Caldwell is UWA's first winner of the year, via his third honor of his career after a record-setting effort in Thursday's 55-10 win at Shorter. The senior accounted for five total touchdowns, including four through the air and another on a blocked field goal attempt. The Dadeville, Ala. native completed 21-of-25 passes for 245 yards, setting the school record career touchdowns (63) and the single-game mark for completion percentage (84%). Caldwell gave the Tigers a 7-3 lead just nine seconds into the second quarter when he scooped up a blocked field goal attempt and scampered 26 yards for a score. He closed the first half by tossing touchdowns on three consecutive possessions.
