HARRISONBURG — The James Madison football program ran through its Colonial Athletic Association schedule this fall, winning all eight games to capture the league title.

On Tuesday, its on-field triumphs carried into award season.

JMU junior quarterback Bryan Schor was named the CAA’s Offensive Player of the Year. Schor finished the regular season as the nation’s leader in completion percentage (73 percent) while throwing for 2,026 yards and 18 touchdowns. He also ran for 545 yards and scored nine rushing touchdowns.

“It means a lot,” Schor said. “There are a lot of good quarterbacks in this league like [Richmond junior] Kyle [Lauletta], for example. He’s a great a quarterback, so it means a lot and I think it means a lot for our team.

“There’s a correlation between me having not been sacked a lot this year and me having the chance to win an award like that.”

The Milford, Pa., native earned CAA Offensive Player of the Week honors four different times throughout the season.

It is the second year in a row a JMU quarterback won the award — Vad Lee was the CAA’s Offensive Player of the Year last season.

Senior punt returner Rashard Davis was selected as the Colonial’s Special Teams Player of the Year. Davis led the country with three punt-return touchdowns.

First-year coach Mike Houston was tabbed as the league’s Coach of the Year after guiding JMU to a 10-1 overall record and an unblemished 8-0 mark in conference play.

Fourteen Madison players were named to one of the three All-CAA teams. A program-record 10 players were named to the first team.

“I’m extremely excited about the recognition our players got,” Houston said. “With the bulk of those being first-team selections.”

The 14 all-conference choices are also a league-best.

Schor, senior running back Khalid Abdullah, senior wide receiver Brandon Ravenel, junior tight end Jonathan Kloosterman, senior left tackle Aaron Stinnie and senior right tackle Mitchell Kirsch were named to the first-team offense. Junior defensive end Andrew Ankrah, senior cornerback Taylor Reynolds and junior safety Raven Greene were selected to the first-team defense. Davis was named the first-team punt returner.

Kirsch and Reynolds have earned All-CAA honors three times in their careers.

Senior right guard Matt Frank, senior linebacker Gage Steele and senior punter Gunnar Kane were named to the All-CAA second team and junior wide receiver Terrence Alls was a third-team selection.

“I talked to our team about some of teams we had 10-12 years ago at Lenoir-Rhyne. We weren’t very good,” Houston said. “So you’d look at the all-conference teams and we’d have nobody or maybe one player. Then you look up now and I think championship teams have a heavy representation on the all-conference team, so it’s the team performance that allows players to be able to get selected for individual awards.”

Houston added his Coach of the Year award was the product of hiring a smart staff of assistants.

“It’s very much a staff award,” he said. “They’ve done an outstanding job and I think I have the best coaching staff in FCS football and they prove it every Saturday.”
