The USA South Athletic Conference has announced its 2021 Spring All-Conference awards for football. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the shortening of seasons within the fall and winter sports, in addition to the cancelation of NCAA Championship events, the Conference will be limiting the All-Conference honors to First Team All-Divisional recognition. Additionally, for this season, there will be no individual "of the Year" awards. Finally, the USA South will however still recognize an All-Sportsmanship Team consisting of one member from each competing school as selected by their team.
All awards are voted on by the football coach at each institution. Due to the imbalance of institution's abilities to compete in non-conference contests, only statistics generated in USA South divisional contests, which were games against teams within their own divisions which counted within the divisional standings, were taken into account by the coaches when casting their votes.
Five Battling Bishops were named to the All-East Division Football Team including seniors, RB Jeff Black and OL TJ McFadden as well as junior WR Jai Irvin. Defensively, freshman LB James Hayden and Safety Benyon Williams were also named.
The Bishops finish their season on Saturday on the road at Brevard College at 11 AM.
