http://www.ovcsports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=6200&ATCLID=1607305
OFFENSIVE
Ryan Perrilloux, QB • Jr., 6-3, 223 • LaPlace, La. • Jacksonville State
Perrilloux was near perfect in completing 18-of-20 passes for 189 yards and four touchdowns in Jacksonville State’s 31-21 victory over Murray State on Saturday. The 90 percent completion percentage tied the JSU school record and is the highest for all Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) players this season. He had touchdown passes of 3, 10, 21 and 49 yards on the night and passed the 1,400-yard passing yard mark on the season. He became the first Gamecock player with four touchdown passes in a game since the 1999 season. Perrilloux, who has been named OVC Player of the Week twice and OVC Newcomer of the Week four times this season, was a perfect 13-of-13 to start the game until missing on a pass attempt in the third quarter.
Others Nominated: Theo Townsend, Austin Peay; Travorus Bess, Eastern Illinois; Charlie Jordan, Murray State; Timmy Holloman, Southeast Missouri; Javarris Williams, Tennessee State; Brandyn Young, UT Martin.
DEFENSIVE
Alexander Henderson, LB • Jr., 6-1, 212 • Mobile, Ala. • Jacksonville State
Henderson became just the second player in Jacksonville State’s Division I history to have more than 20 tackles in a game when he registered 21 in the Gamecocks 31-21 victory over Murray State on Saturday. That total included an impressive 16 solo stops for the game. He also forced a fumble and had two tackles-for-loss. The 21 tackles were the most for a Jax State player since an 18-tackle performance in 2000.
Others Nominated: Rashad Haynes, Eastern Illinois; Nathan Williams, Murray State; Nick Stauffer, Southeast Missouri; Corey Reed, Tennessee Tech; Dontrell Miller, UT Martin.

Gavin Hallford, K • Sr., 6-1, 225 • Phenix City, Ala. • Jacksonville State
Hallford set the Ohio Valley Conference record for career scoring by a kicker by netting seven points in the Gamecocks 31-21 win over Murray State.

Eric Benson, K • Sr., 5-10, 180 • Rowlett, Texas • Tennessee State
