Bridgewater linebacker Jermaine Taylor and Hampden-Sydney receiver Conrad Singh shared the league’s Player of the Year Award. Emory & Henry’s Todd Woods won the league’s Rookie of the Year prize while Hampden-Sydney’s Marty Favret took home Coach of the Year honors.

He averaged over 40 yards per kick in nine of 10 contests, including the Oct. 4 matchup with Greensboro where he averaged 45.1 yards on nine punts. Adams’ 41.6-yard average stands third in ODAC history.
Batts, a 5-8, 180-pound defensive back, earned his initial first-team honor after receiving second-team laurels in 2001 and honorable mention recognition in 2002. The senior led Guilford and ranks seventh in the ODAC with a career-high 69 tackles (48 solo). Batts topped the Quakers’ tacklers a team-best four times and had three contests with 10 or more stops, including a personal-best 12-stop effort against Ferrum. He played cornerback for his whole career before switching to safety midway through 2003 to fill in for the injured starter.

A First Team All-ODAC pick in 2002, Person registered 15 tackles, four for loss, in eight games this year on the defensive line.
