Humphries Named To STATS Offensive POY Watch List
8/3/2016 12:41:00 PM | Football
Murray State senior quarterback KD Humphries has identified as one the 22 best offensive players in the nation, as he was placed on the initial 2016 STATS Offensive Player of the Year Watch List by the media outlet on Wednesday.
Humphries, who despite being added to last year's list late in the season, finished seventh in the voting for the 2015 award. The redshirt senior led the nation in passing yards last season with 3,778, setting a new school record in the process. He also led the nation in completions per game for the second consecutive season at 30.0, as well as passing yards per game at 343.5. In addition, Humphries also greatly improved his decision making in 2015, throwing just seven interceptions in 532 attempts, compared to 12 interceptions in 473 attempts in 2014.
The Montgomery, Alabama native was one of two OVC players named to the list, along with Jacksonville State quarterback Eli Jenkins, who finished sixth in last year's voting. He is also one of six of the top seven vote getters from last year's award to be named to the first watch list of 2016, including the 2015 winner Eastern Washington wide receiver Cooper Kupp.
This is the latest accolade in what has already been a busy week for Humphries. On Monday, STATS named him as a third-team Preseason All-American selection and yesterday he was named preseason second-team All-OVC by College Sports Madness.
