2017 CFN C-USA Offensive Player of the Year

RB Devin Singletary, Soph. FAU

The rushing attack was a killer. QB Jason Driskel took off for 360 yards and six scores, Gregory Howell ran for 690 yards and five touchdowns, and Singletary dominated at a whole other level after the first few games, finishing with 1,796 yards and 29 scores, and catching 18 passes for 185 yards and a touchdown.

2017 CFN C-USA Defensive Player of the Year

LB Azeez Al-Shaair, Jr. FAU

The leader of the Owl defense that was almost as nasty as the offense, the 6-2, 228-pound junior led the team with 134 tackles with 1.5 tackles for loss and eight tackles for loss. Even though he missed a game, he still put up the gaudy statistics, helped by six straight double-digit tackle games and nine times on the season.

2017 CFN C-USA Coach of the Year

Lane Kiffin, Florida Atlantic

It was his Conference USA season. Kiffin brought in all the star power and all the talent the league could’ve asked for, blowing up with a brilliant season taking a 3-9 team to 10-3 and a dominant run to the conference championship.
