KHALIL DORSEY Sophomore, CB College Sports Madness Big Sky Third Team GOT THE HAIR, GOT THE LEG • When the ’Jacks get lined up for a kick - be it a field goal, extra point or kickoff - sophomore JOE LOGAN Sophomore, RB Griffin Roehler takes center stage. Known for his flowing blonde locks, Roehler proved last College Sports Madness Big Sky Second Team season that he has the right leg to match it during a phenomenal freshman campaign. • Following an impressive line of NAU kickers in recent history, Roehler started on the right ELIJAH MARKS Senior, WR path in her first collegiate season, leading the team with 83 points scored. He converted College Sports Madness Big Sky First Team 13-of-16 field goal attempts for an 81.2 percent clip and made all but one of 45 extra points. • Roehler’s list of 2016 accolades include being named to the All-Big Sky First Team as a WILLIAM MOREHAND Junior, WR placekicker, College Sports Madness All-America Third Team and HERO Sports’ FCS College Sports Madness Big Sky Second Team All-Freshman Team. BLAKE PORTER Senior, OL DON’T FORGET ABOUT US College Sports Madness Big Sky Second Team • While sophomore Case Cookus and senior Emmanuel Butler have garnered the preseason hype, NAU’s offense has a number of returning playmakers which should allow the Lumber- GRIFFIN ROEHLER Sophomore, K jacks to light up the scoreboard all season long. All-Big Sky Preseason Team • With Butler occupying defenses’ attention on the outside, senior Elijah Marks is free to patrol College Sports Madness Big Sky First Team the middle of the field - an area that he skillfully controls. Starting last season with a bang with an 87-yard catch and run to the paydirt against Arizona State, Marks set his season in motion. TYLER SHANK Senior, OL Earning a spot on the All-Big Sky Third Team, he had a career-high 770 receiving yards on All-Big Sky Preseason Team 43 receptions and seven touchdowns last season - all totals that only trailed his classmate. College Sports Madness Big Sky First Team He averaged 17.9 yards per catch, which actually led the ’Jacks, while also leading the team with 326 kick return yards. • Juniors William Morehand and Jonathan Baldwin also provide Cookus with receiving 2017 WEEKLY HONORS/ACCOLADES weapons. Morehand was third on the team in receiving yards (456) and receiving touchdowns (5) and was a dangerous return threat, ranking 14th in the FCS in punt returns on his way to All-Big Sky Honorable Mention honors. Baldwin started eight games at tight end and recorded three touchdowns and has not missed a game in his first two seasons. • The weapons are not limited to only the air though, as sophomore Joe Logan showed he can run with the rock last season. An all-conference honorable mention pick as a freshman, Lo- gan led NAU in rushing with 726 yards and five touchdowns despite starting just four games and appearing in nine. He burst onto the scene in his debut against New Mexico Highlands totaling 172 yards on nine carries and two touchdowns - which occurred on his first two collegiate carries - and never looked back finishing No. 15 in the FCS STATS Freshman Player of the Year Voting.

THE FRONT LINE • If NAU’s playmakers do their thing, NAU’s offensive line should not be exempt from credit especially with the experience they stack up at three of the five spots. • Seniors Blake Porter and Tyler Shank both garnered preseason all-conference recognition after All-Big Sky honors last season. Porter was voted to the Third Team in 2016 and has started 23 consecutive games. Shank earned 2016 Second Team honors and has started his last 21 games that he has appeared in. Meanwhile, junior Cole Habib started all 11 games a year ago. • The sturdy trio were part of an offensive line that ranked fifth in the FCS last season in sacks allowed per game at 0.73. Before Southern Utah got to the quarterback four times in the season finale, the offensive line allowed just four sacks total in the first 10 games. • The combination of the Lumberjacks’ talented offensive line and explosive talent at the skill positions is a lethal recipe.
