The Mid-American Conference released their all-conference teams ahead of Saturday’s conference championship game, and 10 Falcons made the cut, headlined by tight end Harold Fannin Jr., and cornerback Jalen Huskey, who both earned first team honors.

Fannin, a sophomore from Canton, lead the team in receiving yards (573) and receiving touchdowns (6), while pacing all MAC tight ends both categories. He joins Quintin Morris (’20) and Christian Sims (’21) as BGSU TEs to earn first team all-MAC honors – the third placement in four seasons by the team.

He also is sixth nationally in receiving yards and fifth in receiving touchdowns amongst all tight ends.

Huskey, a sophomore from Frederick, MD, is second in the conference in interceptions with four, and third on the squad in tackles with 52. His four picks also rank 16th in the entire country.
