Offense-Defense Announces Running Back of the Year

Game officials announced their award winners during the 6th-annual Offense-Defense All-America Game on December 29th. They honored Virginia Tech pledge J.C. Coleman of Chesapeake (VA) as the running back of the year.

"We are pleased to announce him as our back of the year after the tremendous season he had, "said Offense-Defense President Rick Whittier, "Coleman beat an excellent group of players for this award and made O-D proud to have chosen him for it."

Coleman ran for 1,525 yards and 21 touchdowns to average 9.3 yards per carry while catching 21 passes for 450 yards and four scores despite missing three games due to an ankle injury.

"Coleman was our smallest but perhaps our fastest player showing why he was chosen for the award during the week, "said Offense-Defense Director of Player Personnel Josh Buchanan, "The amazing thing is that he's even more impressive off the field, believe it or not."
