"I'm proud of the young men that were selected to the All-MIAA team," UCO head coach Nick Bobeck said. "Each of these kids work so hard on and off the field and deserve to recognized for that. I'm happy that they were. I'm also really happy for those seniors that were selected. To be able to finish their careers with this is a good thing."

Senior offensive lineman Tyler Stilwell and senior defensive back O'Shay Harris both earned First Team All-MIAA. Senior wide receiver Dustin Basks, sophomore tight end Daunte McGee, senior offensive lineman Nick George, junior defensive lineman Mike Rios, senior defensive lineman Drequan Brown, and senior linebacker Bryan Burns all earned Third Team All-MIAA. And junior quarterback Chandler Garrett, junior running back T.J. Roberts, sophomore offensive lineman Seth Carmack, senior defensive back Jakarri Hunt, sophomore defensive back Kolby Underwood, and junior kicker Alex Quevedo were all tabbed as All-MIAA Honorable Mention.

Stilwell is a fifth-year senior, four-year letter winner, and three-year starter for the Bronchos. The offensive lineman from Yukon, Okla. also earned Second Team All-MIAA last season. He's the seventh offensive lineman to earn All-MIAA honors under Bobeck and is the third to do so twice. Stillwell has blocked for an offense that has averaged over 30 points per game during his time.

Harris, also a fifth-year senior, four-year letter winner, and three-year starter, is also a two-time All-MIAA recipient. The defensive back from Ardmore, Okla. earned First Team honors last season, before also earning All-Region and All-American honors. Harris led the Bronchos in tackles this season with 71 stops. He had 5.5 tackles behind the line of scrimmage, eight pass breakups, and one fumble recovery.

Basks, a fifth-year senior like Stillwell and Harris, has spent the past two and half seasons working his way into the list of one of the best wide receivers to play at UCO. He is a two-time All-MIAA recipient, earning Third Team honors in both 2018 and 2019. Basks led the Bronchos in receiving this season, making 51 catches for 777 yards and eight touchdowns. He finished his career with 127 receptions for 1,711 yards and 16 touchdowns.

McGee is a sophomore tight end from Yukon, Okla. that also earned All-MIAA Honorable Mention last season. He served a crucial role in blocking for an offense that scored 34 points per game this season. McGee also had 12 catches for 104 yards this season.

George, a four-year letterman and three-year starter, is also a two-time All-MIAA winner. The Green Cove Springs, Fla. native also earned Third Team All-MIAA last season. George has played both center and right guard and has been a key figure in the Broncho offense that has averaged over 30 points and 400 yards per game since he entered the lineup.

Rios, a junior defensive lineman from Wichita, Kan., earned All-MIAA honors for the first time this season after making 26 tackles, two behind the line of scrimmage, and one sack. He also had three quarterback hurries on the year.

Brown, a senior defensive lineman from Chicago, Ill., also earned All-MIAA honors for the first time this season. Brown made 32 tackles and had a team-high 8.5 behind the line of scrimmage. He also led the team with 6.5 sacks, which ranked fifth in the MIAA. One of Brown's sacks against Missouri Southern also resulted in a fumble that he recovered himself and ran into the end zone for a score. Brown also had two QB hurries on the year.

Burns, a senior linebacker from Lawton, Okla., is like Rios and Brown, a first-time All-MIAA honoree. Burns was fourth on the team this season with 52 tackles. He also had five tackles for a loss and one sack and forced a team-high two fumbles this season.

Garrett, a junior quarterback from Mustang, Okla., led UCO with 716 yards passing and eight touchdowns. He also ran for 635 yards and nine touchdowns. Garrett's 487 yards of total offense against Missouri Southern set a new school record.

Roberts, a junior running back from Phoeniz, Ariz., is a first-time All-MIAA selection after his first season in the Bronze & Blue. Roberts had a team-high 668 rushing yards this season on 127 carries. He also had a team-high 10 rushing touchdowns. Roberts scored three touchdowns in a game twice this season, doing so in wins over Missouri Southern and Northeastern State.

Carmack, a first-time honoree, helped pave the way for Garrett and the Broncho offense from the left guard position. The sophomore Yukon, Okla. native was a big part of UCO's success on offense this season, helping the Bronchos average 34 points per game this season.

Hunt, a senior defensive back from Hollywood, Fla., also earned Honorable Mention honors last season. This season, he was tied with Burns for fourth on the team with 52 tackles, had three behind the line of scrimmage including one sack, and had three pass breakups. He was also tied with Burns for the team lead with two forced fumbles.

Underwood, another defensive back, is a sophomore from Arlington, Texas. He is a first-time pick for All-MIAA honors. Underwood led the Bronchos this season with four interceptions. He also broke up two more passes. He had one pick-six, returning a 27-yard interception for a touchdown against Missouri Southern.

Lastly, Quevedo is another two-time All-MIAA Honorable Mention recipient. The junior from Azle, Texas earned the same honor last season. He is one of the best kickers in the MIAA and earned MIAA Player of the Week earlier this season after kicking the game-winning field goal against Washburn with two seconds left on the clock. Quevedo was 48-for-49 on PATs this season and 8-for-11 on field goal attempts with a long of 42 yards. His 72 points led the team. Quevedo also crossed the 200-point threshold and is ranked seventh in school history with 218 career points.
