Redshirt senior Trenton Greene was named second team All-MAC and the Falcons had a quartet named to the third team. A pair of offensive linemen, redshirt senior Logan Dietz and redshirt junior Tim McAuliffe, earned third team honors, while senior running back Fred Coppet and sophomore defensive back Jamari Bozeman were also named.
Davidson earned first team All-MAC honors for the second consecutive season and Greene was named second team All-MAC for the second year in a row. In total, four of the seven Falcon honorees are underclassmen with eligibility remaining for Bowling Green.
Bios of each of the seven honorees are listed below:
Scott Miller - First Team
Miller led the Falcons with 74 catches for 968 yards and 10 receiving touchdowns. Those 74 catches are tied for the 10th most in program history and the 10 touchdowns are tied for seventh. He also had a team-high 19 kickoff returns and averaged 6.3 yards on three punt returns. Miller had four 100+-yard receiving games, including a two-game stretch in which he posted 19 catches for 327 yards and five touchdowns against Toledo and Miami. He also had 161 yards receiving and three TDs in a win over North Dakota and added 11 catches for 148 yards against Eastern Michigan. Miller posted at least one catch in every game and finished the season with 1,323 all-purpose yards.
Joseph Davidson - First Team
A Ray Guy Award semifinalist, Davidson was the conference's top punter all year. He was the national Ray Guy Punter of the Week and earned multiple MAC East Special Teams Player of the Week honors. He had an 82-yard punt at Toledo and a 79-yarder at Ohio. Against the Bobcats, Davidson averaged 59.7 yards per punt. For the season, he averaged 45.8 yards on 61 punts and dropped 21 of them inside the 20. His nine punts of 60+ yards are the most in the country and he had 19 punts of 50 yards or more. Davidson also ran for 24 yards and a first down on a fourth-and-22 fake punt at Toledo.
Trenton Greene - Second Team
Greene started all 12 games for the Falcons at outside linebacker, recording a team-high 111 tackles, including 54 solo. Greene was a terror on the field, posting 8.5 tackles for loss and 4.0 quarterback sacks, as well as recording three forced fumbles, three passes defended and an interception. He had a season-high 16 tackles at Ohio State and finished the year with two sacks in a win over Buffalo, a performance that earned him MAC East Defensive Player of the Week honors. He also forced two fumbles at Akron and picked up his first career interception with a diving catch at home against Eastern Michigan.
Logan Dietz - Third Team
Dietz started all 12 games for the Falcons at left tackle, helping the team surge offensively as the season wore on. His run blocking was critical for the team as Fred Coppet rushed for more than 1,000 yards on the season and the team had three 100-yard rushing performances in each of the final two games – the first time in program history that has been done in back-to-back contests. With a freshman quarterback and youthful wide receiver unit, Dietz and the offensive line gave James Morgan time in the pocket in passing situations. BGSU averaged 328 yards on the ground during a three-game win streak to complete the season.
Tim McAuliffe - Third Team
McAuliffe started all 12 games for the Falcons at center, giving him 39 starts over the course of the first three years of his career. His run blocking was critical for the team as Fred Coppet rushed for more than 1,000 yards on the season and the team had three 100-yard rushing performances in each of the final two games – the first time in program history that has been done in back-to-back contests. With a freshman quarterback and youthful wide receiver unit, McAuliffe and the offensive line gave James Morgan time in the pocket in passing situations. BGSU averaged 328 yards on the ground during a three-game win streak to complete the season.
Fred Coppet - Third Team
Coppet became just the ninth player in program history to rush for at least 1,000 yards in a season and his total of 1,030 is tied for the 10th most in a season. Coppet played in all 12 games and carried the ball 204 times for a 5.0 yard per carry average. He also added eight touchdowns. He played his best down the stretch, topping 100 yards in each of the final three games, including a career-high 160 yards in the season finale. Coppet scored five of his eight rushing touchdowns during that season-ending three-game winning streak and he also finished the season with 15 catches for 79 yards. Coppet goes down in the BGSU record book ranked fifth in career rushing yards despite being the primary back for just one season.
Jamari Bozeman - Third Team
Bozeman was one of the team's most improved players over the course of the 2016 season and he finished second on the team with 71 tackles, starting all 12 games at safety. He added 1.5 tackles for loss, a team-high three interceptions and six passes defended. Bozeman had two interceptions in a 10-point win at Akron and also recorded a pass break-up in that contest.
