Benedict Athletics

COLUMBIA, S.C. (Benedict) – Benedict College senior running back George Myers Jr. and junior defensive tackle Charles Williams have been named to the 2016 Don Hansen NCAA Division II All-Super Region Two football team.

Both Myers and Williams were named to the All-Region third team, and were among the 23 total representatives from the SIAC named to the All-Region squad. Super Region Two consists of schools from the SIAC, Gulf South Conference, South Atlantic Conference and independents North Greenville and UNC Pembroke.

Myers rushed for 1,184 yards this season, which ranked 18th nationally. He set a school record for rushing with 235 yards against Central State on Sept. 17. Myers also finished with 222 yards over Lane on Oct. 8. He was named the MVP of the SIAC and first-team All-Conference.

Williams was named second-team All-SIAC and had 38 total tackles, including 10 tackles for loss, 3.5 sacks and one fumble recovery.

The Don Hansen team carries out the legacy of long-time small college football advocate Don Hansen, who passed away at age 75 on Aug. 29, 2010. Hansen, from Brookfield, Ill., started and published Don Hansen’s National Weekly Football Gazette for three decades, selecting NCAA Division II All-America teams for the first time in 1988. Don Hansen’s Football Gazette began selecting Division II All-Region squads in 2003.

The first-team and second-team All-Region selections advance to a national ballot from which the 2016 Don Hansen NCAA Division II All-America team will be named in February.
