Thirteen members of the Ball State football team were named to the All-Mid-American Conference teams Wednesday, as announced by the league office.
Of the 13 named players, five were named to the All-MAC First Team Offense.
Wide receivers Willie Snead and Jamill Smith, tight end Zane Fakes, offensive lineman Austin Holtz and kicker Steven Schott were named to conference’s first team.
Northern Illinois quarterback Jordan Lynch was named first team offense while Keith Wenning was named to the second team offense.
On the second team defense, linebacker Travis Freeman and defensive end Jonathan Newsome were both named.
Two offensive linemen in Jordan Hansel and Cam Lowry and running back Jahwan Edwards were named to the All-MAC Third Team Offense and cornerback Eric Patterson and defensive tackle Nathan Ollie were named to the third team defense.
