GREENVILLE, S.C. -- Furman placed five players on the 2021 Southern Conference All-Freshman Team, which was announced today following voting by league head coaches.

Furman's five selections, which featured three players on offense and two defenders, topped all league schools.

The five SoCon All-Freshman Team picks included wide receiver Joshua Harris, quarterback Jace Wilson, offensive tackle Dylan Davis, cornerback Dominic Morris, and defensive lineman Bryce Stanfield.

Harris, from Newnan, Ga., earned starts in nine of Furman's 11 games and recorded 26 receptions for 295 yards and a touchdown in his first season as a Paladin.

Joining Harris on the SoCon All-Freshman squad was Wilson, a Missouri City, Texas, product, who emerged at mid-season and went on to earn starts in six games, complete 63-of-122 passes for 1,020 yards and six touchdowns, and rush for 101 yards and two scores.  Offensive tackle Dylan Davis, from Bradenton, Fla., rounded out the freshman offense honorees after appearing in all 11 games, logging 194 snaps, and registering starts in Furman's final two games — wins over VMI (37-31) and Samford (41-34).

Furman's two freshman team defenders include Spring, Texas, cornerback Dominic Morris, who played in seven games and made a pair of late season starts on the way to finishing with 12 tackles and an interception, and lineman Bryce Stanfield, from Acworth, Ga., who registered 19 tackles and three sacks prior to being sidelined eight games into the season with a foot injury.

The five SoCon All-Freshman Team selections were among 12 Paladins to garner all-conference recognition that included first team picks, offensive tackle Anderson Tomlin and tight end Ryan Miller, and second team honorees, offensive tackle Pearson Toomey, defensive linemen Adrian Hope and Parker Stokes, cornerback Travis Blackshear, and punter Timmy Bleekrode.
