MDCC football standouts receive postseason honors

MOORHEAD– Although the 2020 regular season has come to an end for the Mississippi Delta Community College football program, the Trojans still had a large number of team members earn Mississippi Association of Community Colleges Conference (MACCC) postseason honors on Monday.

 

MDCC had four student-athletes named First Team All-MACCC North Division and three players selected as Second Team All-MACCC North Division.

 

Corblin McGinn (D'Iberville), Ken'Terious Owens (Oxford), Quaterus Silas (Greenwood) and Su'Metris Stewart were the first team selections for MDCC, while Jimmy Brown (Shaw), Marlon Brown (Pickens) and Treveon Miles (Woodville) were the second team recipients.

 

McGinn, a freshman punter, finished the season with 27 punts for a total of 1,143 yards through four games, good enough for a 42.3 yards per punt average. He had a long punt of 65 yards.

 

Owens, a sophomore defensive lineman, competed in three games in 2020, but still racked up 15 tackles, three tackles for loss and one sack. He had a standout freshman campaign in 2019, as the JCGridiron.com National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) Weakside Ends Watch List selection had 34 tackles, 4.5 tackles for loss and 1.5 sacks.

 

Silas, a freshman tight end, finished his rookie campaign with two catches for 21 yards, enough for a 10.5 yards per reception average. He had a long reception of 15 yards.

 

Stewart, a sophomore defensive back, had 33 tackles, one fumble recovery and led the Trojans with two interceptions, including a pick-six for a touchdown against Northeast Community College in the 2020 season opener. As a freshman in 2019, he had 11 kickoff returns for 286 yards (26 yards per return average) and a touchdown to go along 34 tackles, three pass breakups, two interceptions, 1.5 tackles for loss and 0.5 sacks as a defensive back. He was also recently named to the JCGridiron.com Fall All-America Second Team.

 

Jimmy Brown, a sophomore offensive lineman, was largely responsible for grading the way for a Trojans offense that averaged 234.3 yards per game and serving as a formidable force on the MDCC front line.

 

Marlon Brown, a freshman linebacker, had a standout rookie campaign with 35 tackles, one tackle for loss, one forced fumble and 0.5 sacks.

 

Miles, a sophomore wide receiver, was second on the team with 17 receptions for 137 yards. He also had three kickoff returns for 49 yards with a long return of 24 yards in 2020. As a freshman in 2019, he caught 31 passes for 302 yards and two touchdowns. He also finished his first season with four rushes for 13 yards and a touchdown.

 

Miles, Owens and Stewart were all named to the 2020 JucoWeekly Pre-Season All-Mississippi team prior to the season, due in large part to their efforts as rookies.
