West Georgia return specialist Denarius Appling
Appling collects his sixth all-time Special Teams honor, second this season, after a school-record performance in UWG's 55-10 home win over Mississippi College. The senior recorded 105 total return yards on one kickoff return and five punt returns. The Griffin, Ga. native returned five punts for 79 yards and took back one kickoff for 26 yards versus MC. Appling's punt yardage was enough to make him the first-ever UWG player to surpass 1,000 yards in a career and he also moved into sole possession of third place in the GSC Record Books.
