NCAA COACHES POLL

Junior Jared Johnson currently ranks No. 7 in FCS passing efficiency (165.9) and No. 9 nationally in completion percentage (.659). He leads the Southland in both categories. Johnson earned league offensive “player of the week” honors for the second time in his career after tying a Sam Houston school record with five TD passes in a 49-21 victory at Abilene Christian. Johnson started all 16 games during last year’s championship campaign, setting a school record for the most yards passing by a sophomore (3,054) and the second highest single season total offense production in program history (4,053 yards). He now ranks No. 3 behind Brian Bell (2010-13) and Rhett Bomar (2007-08) in career total offense with 5,712 yards and stands No. 5 in Bearkat career passing with 4,291 yards.

IMPRESSIVE NUMBERS FOR QB JARED JOHNSON

Big plays by the Bearkat defense have set up scoring sprees in three of the team’s five wins. Interceptions by Tyrel Stokes, Sammy Webb IV and Trenier Orr powered the team to a 28-0 third quarter on the way to a 63-14 victory over Houston Baptist. Midway through the second quarter the score was tied 14-14. Stokes returned his interception 25-yards for a score. Sam Houston got a quick start in the 59-7 victory over Incarnate Word with three TDs in less than a two-minute span in the first quarter thanks to its defense. After a 66-yard Jared Johnson to Cory Avery scoring pass, interceptions by P. J. Hall and Mikell Everette set up short, quick scoring drives. In the second quarter, Collins Okotcha returned the Kats’ third interception of the night for a 60-yard score. Sam Houston led at half 52-0. In the 37-7 win over Nicholls, a first quarter interception by Torian Williams set up a two-play, 20-yard scoring drive in a 23-0 opening period for the Kats. In the third quarter, a forced fumble and recovery by P. J. Hall sparked a two-play 15-yard drive that gave the Kats a 37-0 lead.

DEFENSIVE PLAYS HAVE SPARKED SCORING SPREES

OUTSTANDING RUNNING BACKS SHARE THE LOAD

Three wide receivers are piling up impressive career totals in the Sam Houston record book. LaDarius Brown leads the Southland and ranks No. 24 in FCS in receiving yards per game (73.6 average). The senior has 32 catches for 515 yards and five scores this fall. Brown has climbed to No. 15 in Sam Houston career receiving annals with 1,322 yards. His standout performances this season include four catches for 115 yards and a pair of 35-yard touchdowns in the victory over UIW and six grabs for 108 yards including a 64-yard score at ACU. Sophomore Yedidiah Louis stands No. 22 with 95 catches for 1,141 yards and two TDs. A New Orleans native who moved to the Dallas area after Hurricane Katrina, he walked on at Sam Houston after playing at Richardson Berkner High School. Senior Gerald Thomas moved up to the No. 25 spot in the 1,000-yard receiving club with six catches for 63 yards versus UIW. His 164 yards on eight receptions in the HBU victory included an 86-yard touchdown, the ninth longest passing play in Kat annals. Thomas has caught 66 passes for 1,042 career yards and 10 scores since transferring from the University of Colorado. Thomas made 18 receptions for 171 yards as a true freshman at Colorado in 2012.

WIDE RECEIVERS MOVING UP ON STAT CHARTS

Sharing the load with Jalen Overstreet in the Sam Houston running attack are transfer Cory Avery and freshman Remus Bulmer. Avery has carried 46 times for 443 yards (9.6 average per carry) and Bulmer has 46 rushes for 234 yards (5.1 average). Avery is a transfer from Kansas where he rushed for 631 yards and five TDs as a freshman last year. Bulmer rushed for 1,938 yards and 3422 touchdowns at Ridge Point High School in Missouri City. Sam Houston rankes No. 9 in the nation and No. 2 in the Southland Conference with 292.9 yards on the ground each game.

Running back Jalen Overstreet became the 35th member of Sam Houston’s 1,000-yard career rushing club with a career best 28 carries for 202 yards Saturday in the 37-7 win over Nicholls. In his 23 games as a Bearkat since transferring to the Huntsville campus from the University of Texas in Austin, the Tatum High School product has rushed for 1,197 yards. Saturday’s 202-yard performance ranks No. 14 among single game rushing totals by Sam Houston backs and is the sixth highest total by a Bearkat against a Southland Conference opponent.

Since Sept. 9, 2011, the Bearkats have been ranked among the top 25 FCS teams 57 times in 64 weekly polls (including 39 times in the top 10). Sam Houston was No. 1 in the nation in the final regular season poll of the 2011 season and stood No. 1 in the STATS rankings the Monday following the Kats’ 59-45 loss to Texas Tech.

Sam Houston special teams set a school record with 195 yards and two touchdowns on punt re-turns in the 34-28 victory over Stephen F. Austin Oct. 3. The Bearkats rank No. 21 nationally and No. 3 in the Southland in punt returns with an average of 14.56 yards per return. The Kats stand as one of only four FCS programs with two punt return scores this season.

Sam Houston vs. A&M-Commerce

l The Bearkats are one of only three teams that have earned FCS playoff berths each of the last four years (the other two are North Dakota State and New Hampshire).

l Australian punter Lachlan Edwards earned FCS All-America and All-Southland Conference honors last year after leading the league and ranking No. 15 nationally with a 43.1 average. Edwards stands as Sam Houston’s all-time punting leader with an average of 43.44 yards per punt.

l Two Kats have earned Southland “Player of the Week” honors in the past three weeks. Gerald Thomas won the special teams award after a 78-yard punt return touchdown that sparked a comeback victory over Stephen F. Austin in Houston. Quarterback Jared Johnson was the offensive winner after the Abilene Christian win in which he tied a school record with five touchdown passes.

l With 12 catches for 103 yards and a TD at Texas Tech, wide receiver Davion Davis from Hutto totaled the most catches ever by a Kat freshman in one game. The total was one short of the school record of 13 catches held by Jason Mathenia and Torrance Williams.

l Four of Sam Houston’s all-time top single game total offense performances have come in the past two seasons including 823 yards vs. HBU in 2014 and 709 this year against the Huskies. The Kats also totaled 685 yards of offense in their 2014 home opener against Alabama State and 637 yards in the 2015 contest in Lubbock against the Texas Tech Red Raiders.

In his first season as head coach at Sam Houston State University, K. C. Keeler directed the Bear-kats to an 11-5 record, the Southland Conference championship and the program’s third NCAA FCS playoff semi-finals appearance in the past four seasons. During 21 years as a head football coach, Keeler has produced a record of 190 victories, only 80 losses and one tie. His teams at Rowan University, Delaware and Sam Houston State have combined for 12 NCAA post-season playoff appearances, eight conference championships and played in eight national championship games. Keeler was named as Sam Houston’s 15th head football coach on January 23, 2014. He has coached five National Football League draft picks including Super Bowl XLVII MVP quarterback Joe Flacco. He has tutored 76 All-America players and 21 student-athletes who have earned either national or district CoSIDA Academic All-America honors. As head coach at Delaware, Keeler rolled up an 86-52 record in 11 seasons from 2002 to 2012. His Fightin’ Blue Hens won the FCS national championship in 2003 and reached the national champion-ship game in 2007 and 2010. His squads won Atlantic 10 Conference titles in 2003 and 2004 and the Colonial Athletic Association championship in 2010. Delaware went 11-3 in the program’s four trips to the FCS playoffs. At Rowan University in Glassboro, N. J., Keeler produced an 88-21-1 record from 1993 to 2001 that included seven NCAA Division III playoff appearances including five trips to the National Champion-ship game. His teams posted a 21-7 record in NCAA Division III playoff action. Among Keeler’s coaching honors are selections as AFCA FCS National Coach of the Year, Liberty Mutual Coach of the Year, Maxwell Club Tri-State Coach of the Year and the All-America Football Foundation Johnny Vaught Head Coach Award. Keeler began his coaching career as an assistant at Amherst College in Massachusetts in 1981, then moved to Rowan University in 1986. He was named head coach at Rowan in 1993. The Profs won four New Jersey Athletic Conference championships and finished as runner-up in the league twice in Keeler’s nine seasons. Keeler was a four-sport letterman at Emmaus, Pa., High School. He earned all-league honors and was football team captain as a tight end and linebacker.
