Troy Mitchell named to the Offensive Player of the Year Watch List


Western's Troy Mitchell has been named to the 2015 STATS FCS Offensive Player of the Year Watch List

"The 2015 season won't be easy on defensive coordinators as nine of the 13 FCS conferences return their offensive player of the year and 12 players who were finalists for national player of the year honors last season are back. They were among the 22 players nominated Monday to the STATS FCS Offensive Player of the Year Watch List, including one from each FCS conference."

Troy Mitchell 

Western Carolina Catamounts 
Quarterback - Senior 6-0, 205
Hometown: Houston

Has matured into the catalyst of the Western Carolina offense, becoming equally reliant on his passing prowess as well as his elusiveness and running ability. Will keep plays alive to find a seam in the defense or a receiver open downfield.

Was named the Southern Conference's 2014 second-team quarterback (behind offensive player of the year Jacob Huesman of Chattanooga) after the resurgent Catamounts went 7-5 following a 3-20 mark over the previous two seasons.

The versatile, dual-threat quarterback set the school's single-season record for total offensive yards (3,096) and accounted for 26 total touchdowns as a junior.

Surrounded by a wealth of returning skills players in 2015 to build upon the Catamounts' breakout campaign.

Made 26 career starts through his first three seasons.
