Southern RB Lenard Tillery SWAC preseason offensive player of the year, Jaguars picked third in West


BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Southern running back Lenard Tillery is the preseason Southwestern Athletic Conference offensive player of the year, according to a vote released Friday of the league’s coaches and athletic directors.

Southern had a total of seven All-SWAC first-team selections, but the Jaguars were still picked only to finish third in the SWAC Western Division behind Prairie View and Grambling.

Actually, if you think about it, it falls in line with them not knowing what our defense will do. Offensively, we are among the best in the conference. And that did not even count Quinn.

The teams were released during the 2016 SWAC Football Media Day after ballots were completed by the league’s head coaches and sports information directors. Fifty-one players were named to this year’s preseason teams, with several returning players that earned all-conference at the conclusion of the 2015 season. Should a player that was named to the first team during the postseason not return, the second-team player for that position was elevated to the first team. Players were ranked in their position based on the number of votes received.

If that was the case we would have more representation on the 2015 team. We only got 2 on the All-SWAC offensive team last year and had the best offense in the nation.
