WR Dennis Houston and DB Darius Joiner were named first team All-MVFC. QB Connor Sampson and DB Michael Lawson were second team. DL Hunter Mason, LB Greg Benton, and WR Tony Tate were honorable mentions.

Regarding eligibility for these guys:
Dennis Houston - Didn't play his freshman year for Houston Baptist, played sophomore year for Fullerton College, played 2019 for us, 2021 Spring for us (but that doesn't count against eligibility), and 2021 Fall for us. Assuming his freshman year is considered a redshirt, he should have one more year available to him if he chooses to come back.
Darius Joiner - Played in 2018 and 2019 at Jacksonville State, then Fall 2021 season for us. He should have one more year available to him if he chooses to come back.
Connor Sampson - Redshirted in 2016, played for us in 2017, 2018, 2019, Spring 2021, and Fall 2021. He's done with football at the collegiate level.
Michael Lawson - Played 2016 and 2017 for City College of San Francisco, 2019 for Lamar, Spring 2021 and Fall 2021 for us. He's done with football at the collegiate level.
Hunter Mason - Redshirted 2018, played 2019, Spring 2021, and Fall 2021 (all at Western). Should have 2 more years of eligibility if he chooses to continue.

Would love to see those eligible come back, but I suppose it depends on the coaching situation. Be great if we could find someone that would make them want to stay.

Dennis did play a year at HBU.  Caught 33 balls from Bailey Zappe who threw 52 TDs for the Western Kentucky Sledgehammer Swingers....still hate them.

Anyways, nothing left for Houston.
