KENT, OHIO- Quarterback Dustin Crum and wide receiver Isaiah McKoy earned first-team All-Mid-American Conference (MAC) honors, highlighting four players to earn All-Conference accolades.
Offensive linemen Bill Kuduk (second team) and Nathan Monnin (third team) also received All-Conference honors.
Dustin Crum's 2020 season picked up right where his stellar 2019 campaign ended. Crum captured his first All-Conference nod after leading the Mid-American Conference in completion percentage (73.5) and yards per game (295.3). The Grafton, Ohio native also finished third in touchdown passes (12) despite playing in two fewer games. He also led all MAC quarterbacks in rushing yards (240) and rushing touchdowns (4).
One of Crum's favorite targets has been junior wide receiver Isaiah McKoy, who joins Crum on the All-MAC first team. McKoy continued to be a big-play receiver, finishing third in the MAC in yards per catch (18.1) and yards per game (113). McKoy topped 100 yards in three of four games this season and had at least one touchdown in all four games. McKoy finished in the top-10 in the conference in touchdowns (5, third in the MAC), receptions (25, 9th) and yards (455, 5th) in his abbreviated season.
Kuduk and Monnin helped anchor a record-setting offense in 2020. The Golden Flashes currently lead the nation in total offense with 606 yards per game. Kent State did it with great balance, finishing second in the MAC and third in the FBS in rushing offense (283 yards per game) and second in the MAC and 11th in the FBS in passing offense (323.5 yards per game). The Flashes ran for at least 200 yards in each game this season and threw for over 300 yards in three-of-the-four games. Kuduk, Monnin and the offensive line also only five sacks in four games. Their 1.25 sacks allowed per game average is top-20 in the FBS.
The Golden Flashes finished the 2020 abbreviated season at 3-1, after ending the 2019 season on a four-game winning streak, the Flashes have won seven of their last eight contests. The 3-1 mark this season and the 7-6 record in 2019 are the first back-to-back winning years since 1976-77.
