Jones and Walton selected for All-NCCAA Honors

GREENVILLE, S.C. — The National Christian College Athletic Association (NCCAA) has released their All-NCCAA selections for the 2022 season. Amidst a trying season both on and off the field for the Trojans, two freshmen shone bright and have been recognized by the NCCAA: Cameron Jones and Jeremy Walton. Cameron Jones and Jeremy Walton. Jones was named All-NCCAA First Team Offense while Walton was selected for All-NCCAA First Team Defense, as well as named Defensive Player of the Year.

Jones, a freshman from Richland Hills, Texas, earned his first All-NCCAA honor after a sprinting onto the Trojan football scene in his freshman season logging 62 receptions for a total of 941 yards. Averaging 94.1 yards per game, Jones ranked first in the MSFA.  After his collegiate debut against Hastings in August, Jones was awarded NCCAA Offensive Football Student-Athlete of the Week for his collection of 13 receptions for 131 yards as well as a 44 yard kick return. Throughout the season, Jones tallied four receiving touchdowns, one rushing and one punt return. The latter touchdown coming against Taylor University at 74 yards returned set a new school record, breaking the previous record of 65 yards set in 1995. Earlier this semester, Jones was also named MSFA Midwest League First Team All-Conference.

Walton, a freshman from Gurnee, Illinois, earned his first Defensive Player of the Year and All-NCCAA honor after a domineering freshman year leading the MSFA in sacks with a total of twelve.  Throughout the season, Walton tallied 82 tackles, 53 solo and 29 assists and 21.5 tackles for loss while tackling multiple TIU records in the process.
