Pioneer College Caterers is the official sponsor of the 2020-21 Mid-South Conference football awards. Pioneer College Caterers is an organization committed to providing for the food service needs of Christian colleges and universities.
Southeastern’s (Fla.) Cooper Jones is the Craig Mullins MSC Sun Offensive Player of the Year, while Keiser’s (Fla.) Jalen Wring is the MSC Sun Defensive Player of the Year and Sun Defensive Freshman of the Year.
The individual awards and all-conference teams are selected by a vote of the Sun Division’s coaches. Coaches are not allowed to vote for their own players.
In addition to the players of the year, Webber International’s (Fla.) John Mangarillo is the Offensive Freshman of the Year and Keiser’s Doug Socha is the 2020 Ron Finley Sun Division Coach of the Year.
Jones averaged 252 passing yards per game and accounted for 20 touchdowns this season. He completed 60.6 percent of his passes while throwing for 1,512 yards. Jones finished first in the MSC in both total passing yards and passing yards per game. He earns Offensive Player of the Year honors for a second consecutive season.
