Brockman Named AP Third-Team All-American

Murray State junior quarterback Casey Brockman received national recognition on Thursday as he was selected as a Third-Team All-American by the Associated Press. Brockman becomes first Racer signal caller to earn All-America accolades.
The honor marks the fourth-straight season the Racers have had a player named to the AP All-America Team. Linebacker Nathan Williams was a first-team selection in 2008, defensive end Austen Lane was a third-team selection in 2008 and a first-team selection in 2009, and Marcus Harris was a second-team honoree in 2010.
Brockman (Murray, Ky.) placed 11th in the voting for the 2011 Walter Payton Award after rewriting the MSU and Ohio Valley Conference single-season record books. He went 316-for-477 for 3,276 yards and 25 touchdowns. He also rushed for 211 yards and four touchdowns, while catching two passes for 25 yards and two scores. He set new records for attempts and completions, while his 3,267 passing yards rank second to former Racer Justin Fuente's 3,498 yards during the 1999 season. Brockman established a new OVC mark as he compiled 3,487 yards of total offense, breaking Fuente's 1999 mark of 3,407.
The junior made NCAA history this season as he threw for an FCS-record 422 yards in the first half against Tennessee State. He went on to throw for 600 yards and seven touchdowns, becoming just the fifth player in FCS history to throw for 600 yards in a game. He also caught a touchdown pass in that game and earned five National Player of the Week honors.
Since taking over the offense at the midway point of the 2010 season, Brockman has led the Racers to 12-5 record, while setting every single-game record at MSU. He has thrown for over 300 yards eight times, and has passed for over 400 yards twice in each of the last two seasons.
Brockman will enter his final season with a chance to break the school career records for attempts (260), completions (70), yards (2,371), touchdowns (9) and total offense (3,169).
