Brunswick graduate Kevin Decker, who has helped lead the University of New Hampshire back to the NCAA Division I playoffs, has been named the Colonial Athletic Association Football Offensive Player of the Year.
The voting was conducted among the league's 11 head coaches and Decker becomes the fourth player in school history to earn the honor.
Decker leads the CAA in total offense/game (317.2 yards/fifth in FCS), passing yards/game (279.3/10th in FCS), pass efficiency (154.3/sixth in FCS), points responsible for/game (17.09/fifth in FCS) and TD passes (20).
The first-year starter has completed 244 of 350 passes (69.7 percent) while rushing 121 times for 417 yards and a team-leading nine touchdowns.
As just the fourth quarterback in school history to eclipse 3,000 passing yards in a season, Decker's 3,072 passing yards rank fifth in Wildcats' single-season history, and he is within 246 passing yards of the No. 2 spot.
Decker's 3,951 career passing yards place him 10th on the school's all-time career list
The 11th-seeded Wildcats (8-3, 6-2 CAA) play at No. 7 Montana State on Saturday in the second round of the playoffs after receiving a first-round bye.
New Hampshire has won its opening postseason game in six of the past seven years, including last year's 45-20 second-round victory at Bethune-Cookman.
The Wildcats will have a tall order on Saturday, however, as Montana State (9-2, 7-1 Big Sky) entered the final week of the regular season ranked No. 1 in the national polls. The Bobcats dropped their regular-season finale to Montana 36-10, snapping a nine-game winning streak.
New Hampshire is making its eighth consecutive playoff appearance, which is the longest active streak in the country in its division.
