BATON ROUGE, La. -- Defensive
end Ken Dorsey led a trio of ULM Warhawks named to the All-Louisiana Football
Team, the Louisiana Sports Writers Association announced Sunday morning. Dorsey
was a first team selected while safety Darius Prelow and quarterback Kolton
Browning were named to the second team. The voting panel for All-Louisiana is
comprised of media from across the state and the state's sports information
directors.
Dorsey finished fourth in the Sun Belt Conference with 13.5 tackles for
loss and ninth with 4.5 sacks. The senior from New Orleans led all ULM
defensive linemen with 45 tackles and was tied for the team lead with seven
quarterback hurries. Dorsey - a converted linebacker - led the Sun Belt with
11.5 tackles for loss during league play. He finished his career with 26.5
tackles for loss and 9.5 sacks.
Prelow was a dangerous weapon for the Warhawks in the secondary both
against the pass and the run. The senior from Shreveport, La., finished the season tied for 23rd in
the NCAA with four interceptions and was fifth among Sun Belt defensive backs
with 77 tackles on the year. Prelow came up with 11 tackles at Iowa and
intercepted passes against Florida State, Arkansas State, Western Kentucky and
Grambling State. He finished his career with six interceptions and 232 tackles.
The ULM defense finished eighth in the NCAA in rush defense after
allowing only 100.0 yards per game and 22nd in total defense after allowing only
326.2 yards a contest - the Warhawks finished second in the Sun Belt in total
defense by 0.5 yards per game or six yards total. ULM established a new Sun
Belt record with its rushing yards allowed this season.
Browning, a sophomore from
Mabank, Texas, set the ULM single-season records for plays and completions. He
completed 244-of-419 (58.2 percent) pass attempts on the season for 2,483 yards
and 13 touchdowns. He also set records for plays in a game and yards of total
offense in a quarter (223). Browning's 2,926 yards of total offense were the
third most in a single-season in school history and just 40 yards shy of the
record.
