swac.gifThe Southwestern Athletic Conference announces its 2007 All-Conference Football Players of the Year awards as two running backs, a return specialist and a linebacker claiming the top honors.

The 2007 SWAC Offensive Player of the Year is senior running back Jay Peck of Alabama State. Peck led the conference in carries, rushing yards and 100-yard rushing games. He finished the season with 246 carries for 1,186 yards and six touchdowns. He had seven 100-yard rushing yard games this season ending his collegiate career with 12 games over the century mark.

The Columbus, Ohio, native finished his career with 2,346 rushing yards (third on the school’s all-time list behind Brad Baxter and Rico White). Peck was the Hornets’ most consistent runner this season, gaining 141 yards and a score at Texas Southern and 173 yards and a touchdown at Mississippi Valley State. Peck also caught 21 passes for 177 yards and a touchdown.

The 2007 SWAC Defensive Player of the Year is senior linebacker Zach East of Prairie View A&M. East came on strong during the end of last season and continued his strong play in 2007. He finished the season with 127 total tackles (67 solo). He also tallied 14.5 tackles for loss, three sacks, four forced fumbles and a blocked kick. He had double-digit stops in nine games this season including an 18-tackle performance versus Grambling State and a 19-tackle performance against Jackson State. East ends his two-year career for the Panthers with 187 total tackles.

The SWAC Freshman of the Year is running back Frank Warren of Grambling State.
