2011 Walter Payton Award Voting
Murray State record-setting quarterback Casey Brockman placed 11th in the voting for the 2011 Walter Payton Award. The Sports Network presents and Fathead.com sponsors the FCS' most prestigious award, which is given to the outstanding player in the division.
Brockman received three first-place votes, five second-place votes, seven third-place votes, five fourth-place votes and seven fifth-place votes for a total of 73 points.
A national panel of sports information and media relations directors, broadcasters, writers and other dignitaries selected all of the FCS awards.
Brockman (Murray, Ky.) rewrote the MSU and Ohio Valley Conference single-season record books as he went 316-for-477 for 3,276 yards and 25 touchdowns. He also rushed for 211 yards and four touchdowns, while catching two passes for 25 yards and two scores. He set new records for attempts and completions, while his 3,267 passing yards rank second to former Racer Justin Fuente's 3,498 yards during the 1999 season. Brockman established a new OVC mark as he compiled 3,487 yards of total offense, breaking Fuente's 1999 mark of 3,407.
The junior made NCAA history this season as he threw for an FCS-record 422 yards in the first half against Tennessee State. He went on to throw for 600 yards and seven touchdowns, becoming just the fifth player in FCS history to throw for 600 yards in a game. He also caught a touchdown pass in that game and earned five National Player of the Week honors.
Since taking over the offense at the midway point of the 2010 season, Brockman has led the Racers to 12-5 record, while setting every single-game record at MSU. He has thrown for over 300 yards eight times, and has passed for over 400 yards twice in each of the last two seasons.
Brockman will enter his final season with a chance to break the school career records for attempts (260), completions (70), yards (2,371), touchdowns (9) and total offense (3,169).
