WEEVILS PLACE FOUR ON ALL-GSC FOOTBALL TEAMS
November 16, 2007

Freshman quarterback Scott Buisson was named Gulf South Conference Freshman of the Year, while being one of the four Boll Weevils to be given post-season conference honors.

Buisson joins senior center Justin Waltz, senior running-back John L. Williams, and sophomore running-back Andrew Martin on this year’s list of the best players in the GSC.

Buisson goes into the record books as the second UAM player to be named the freshman of the year – following Kevin McCarn’s 1997 honor. Buisson finished the season ranked first in the conference in three passing categories with an average of 319.8 passing yards per game, 32 passing touchdowns and 331 yards of total offense per game. He was second best in the GSC in pass efficiency with a 142.9 rating.

Waltz (Sr., 6-1, 285, New Boston, Texas) was given first team All-GSC honors after being part of an offensive line that only allowed 15 quarterback hurries over the course of the season.

Williams (Sr., 5-11, 195, Gainesville, Fla.) was placed on the second team All-GSC after racking up his second best season total in his four seasons at UAM. Williams sustained an injury that forced him to miss the last three games of the season. Prior to his injury, Williams was averaging just over 125 yards per game and had tallied nine rushing touchdowns.

Martin (So., 5-11, 242, Cantonment, Fla.) also made the second team All-GSC after being the lead blocker for Williams. Martin added 156 rushing yards and 10 catches for 15 yards when he was not creating running lanes for Williams.
