SAN ANTONIO — Seven UTSA football players collected honorable mention All-Conference USA accolades and a pair of Roadrunners were named to the C-USA All-Freshman Team in a voting of the league coaches, the conference office announced Tuesday.
Senior defensive ends Eric Banks and Jarrod Carter-McLin, senior offensive lineman Josh Dunlop, junior defensive tackle Jaylon Haynes, junior tight end Carlos Strickland II, sophomore offensive lineman Spencer Burford and true freshman running back Sincere McCormick all were named honorable mention all-conference.
Meanwhile, McCormick joined true freshman safety and fellow Converse Judson High School product Rashad Wisdom on the C-USA All-Freshman Team, marking the fourth consecutive season a Roadrunner has earned a spot on the squad. Burford was honored last season after Haynes and place-kicker Jared Sackett were on the 2017 team and linebacker Josiah Tauaefa was honored in 2016.
Banks finished his UTSA career as the program record holder in games played, suiting up in 48 outings. Banks finished the year with 23 tackles, three sacks and 3.5 tackles for a loss, helping the Roadrunners shatter the program's single-season record with 96 stops behind the line of scrimmage. A native of Memphis, Tenn., he added three quarterback hurries, two pass breakups, one forced fumble and a fumble recovery. Banks posted four tackles apiece versus Army West Point, Florida Atlantic and Louisiana Tech.
Carter-McLin totaled 37 tackles, 9.5 tackles for a loss and 4.5 sacks in his final campaign, helping UTSA eclipse single-season standards for TFL (8.0) and sacks (2.2) per game this fall. The Carthage, Texas, product also registered four QB hurries, two pass breakups, one interception, one forced fumble and a fumble recovery in 2019. He posted a career-best 10 tackles, including 1.5 TFL, against Army, and he recorded a stop behind the line in seven different contests.
A native of Zionsville, Ind., Dunlop made all 12 starts at offensive tackle as a senior, helping the Roadrunners produce 4,139 yards of offense in 2019. He helped pave the way for a ground attack that totaled 1,950 yards and a passing offense that accounted for 2,189. Dunlop finished his career with 31 starts in 35 games, making seven starts as a sophomore after transferring from Dodge City [Kan.] Community College and 12 starts as a junior in 2018.
Haynes led all defensive linemen with 40 tackles and paced all Roadrunners with 12.5 tackles for loss and six QB hurries from his interior d-line position. A native of Wharton, Texas, he also recorded two sacks, a pair of pass breakups, one forced fumble and a fumble recovery during his junior campaign. Haynes turned in a career-best seven tackles against Army and had five stops, including three behind the line, in the win over Rice. He also recorded three TFL versus Southern Miss and five total tackles against Texas A&M.
Strickland, a junior tight end from Dallas, caught a team-leading 38 passes for 492 yards and a team-best four touchdowns in his debut season. He averaged 12.9 yards per reception and finished the year with TD catches in three consecutive games. Strickland hauled in six passes for 86 yards — both season highs — in the victory against Rice and had five catches for 79 yards versus Southern Miss and five receptions for 85 yards against Florida Atlantic.
Burford made 11 starts at offensive guard as a sophomore, helping UTSA post 4,139 yards of offense in 2019. He helped pave the way for a ground attack that tallied 1,950 yards and a passing offense that produced 2,189. The 6-foot-4, 300-pounder has started 21 games in his two-year career after starring at San Antonio Wagner High School as UTSA's first four-star signee.
McCormick enjoyed a record-setting debut season for the Roadrunners. The Judson High product broke the program's single-season all-purpose yardage record with 1,177 yards, topping the previous record of 1,121 set by Jarveon Williams in 2016. He also eclipsed Williams' single-game rushing yardage mark with 189 in the win at UTEP, and he also topped the century mark with 134 in the win at Old Dominion and 119 versus Louisiana Tech. McCormick rushed 177 times for 983 yards and eight touchdowns, totals that each rank second on the school's single-season list, and he added 24 catches for 194 yards and a TD.
Wisdom made all 12 starts at safety in his debut campaign for the Roadrunners. The former Judson Rocket finished fourth on the team with 44 tackles, to go along with 5.5 tackles for a loss, a pair of sacks and one QB hurry. Wisdom picked off his first career pass in the win over Rice, returning it 34 yards for a touchdown. He tallied a season-high 10 tackles and forced a fumble against Florida Atlantic and he recorded his first career fumble recovery versus Louisiana Tech.
