INDIANAPOLIS—The Great Lakes Valley Conference released its postseason football awards Monday, as voted on by member coaches. UIndy racked up 15 honorees on the all-conference list, Including a league-high 12 student-athletes on the All-GLVC First Team, as well as a sportsmanship award winner.
 
UIndy was well represented all across the field, highlighted by running back Toriano Clinton and his monster season. The Chicago product set a number of records despite playing in essentially only eight-and-a-quarter games due to injury.
 
A candidate for the 2021 Harlon Hill Award, Clinton led the nation in rushing yards per game (169.4) this fall, with his total of 1,525 yards good for a new UIndy single-season mark. He also twice broke the program's single-game rushing record—first with 270 yards at Hillsdale and later with 287 yards versus McKendree—and in between he broke a Division II record with 197 rushing yards in a single quarter at Southwest Baptist. He was also on pace to break the school's career rushing record before injury struck at Missouri S&T in week 9. Nevertheless, he racked up 17 rushing touchdowns to share third in UIndy's single-season annals.
 
Opening holes for Clinton was a trio of All-GLVC First Team o-linemen: Kednal Alexis, Clay Hadley and Tarnjeet Singh. The group helped the Hounds rank eighth in the nation in rushing, 13th in fewest tackles for a loss allowed, 15th in total offense and 16th in fewest sacks allowed. Hadley, like Clinton a unanimous first team selection, becomes just the fourth player in program history to earn four first team all-conference awards. Singh, meanwhile, collected his third career all-conference honor and second first-team inclusion, while Alexis garnered his first career all-conference nod.
 
On the defensive side of the ball, all three starting linebackers earned first team honors from the league's coaches; Gavin Bane, Kiave' Guerrier and Benjamin Hunnius combined for 38 tackles for a loss, eight QB hurries and seven forced fumbles on the season. All three earned their first postseason honor from the GLVC.
 
A pair of defensive linemen made the first team cut in Alec Patch and Jacob Jones. One of two defensive captains for UIndy this fall, Patch made the list after racking up eight tackles for a loss—4.5 of which coming against opposing QBs—in just nine games played on the year. Jones tallied 18 total tackles and 2.5 TFLs from the interior on the way to his second All-GLVC First Team recognition.
 
In his third season as a starting cornerback, Landry Mavungu collected All-GLVC First Team recognition with his solid performance in 2021. The Normal, Ill., native was credited with four pass break-ups, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery. He also amassed 30 total tackles, including 2.5 TFLs and one sack.
 
The Greyhound special teams also featured a pair of first team honorees, including punter Paul Buisman and long snapper Levi McKinney. Buisman, who thrice earned GLVC Special Teams Player of the Week, ranked second in the conference in punting average while also handling placekicking and kickoff duties. McKinney, meanwhile, capped a rock-solid collegiate career with a fourth consecutive season as the Hounds' reliable long snapper.
 
Meanwhile, Michael Brown was featured on the all-conference list as the lone Hound to earn All-GLVC Second Team accolades. The standout safety played in all 11 games while leading the team's non-linebackers with 54 tackles and adding three break-ups.
 
Cornerback Kasyus Kurns and freshman wideout Jeremiah Lee were also recognized, garnering All-GLVC Honorable Mention. The former led UIndy in both interceptions (4) and break-ups (11), while the latter finished his freshman campaign as the team leader in receiving yards (557) and receiving TDs (6).
 
Additionally, the league recognized 15 GLVC James R. Spalding Sportsmanship Award Individual nominees, with veteran QB Bryce Stancombe garnering the nod for UIndy. The student-athletes chosen include individuals who have distinguished themselves through sportsmanship and ethical behavior. These individuals must also be in good academic standing and have demonstrated good citizenship outside of the sports-competition setting. Stancombe and the other honorees are now eligible to become one of their school's two overall Spalding Sportsmanship Award winners.
