Conference USA announced its preseason award winners Monday, as chosen by the league’s 14 head coaches.

Florida Atlantic junior running back Devin Singletary was selected as the C-USA Offensive Player of the Year. His FAU teammate, senior linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair, was tabbed the Defensive Player of the Year. Southern Miss senior kicker Parker Shaunfield earned Special Teams Player of the Year honors.

Singletary was named C-USA Most Valuable Player last season after scoring a nation-leading 32 rushing touchdowns (nine more than any other player) and 33 total TDs (five more than any other player). He scored more rushing touchdowns last year (32) than previous school career record-holder Alfred Morris had in four years from 2008-11 (27).

Al-Shaair was a first team All-Conference USA selection in 2017 after he set a Florida Atlantic single-season record with 147 tackles. He posted nine games with double-digit stops and also helped the defense with 11 tackles for loss, 2 1/2 sacks, four passes defended and one forced fumble.

Shaunfield converted the first 89 extra-point attempts to start his career (a school record) and is now 104-for-106 all-time as a Golden Eagle. The first team All-C-USA performer converted 17-of-20 field goals last season, including 15 in a row at one point.

Defending conference champion FAU had the most overall preseason selections with six, while Marshall produced five and Louisiana Tech and Middle Tennessee each had players comprising four spots. Eight schools had multiple players named to the squad.

Western Kentucky didn’t place anyone on the preseason team.

The league’s 23rd football season begins Aug. 30. The 14th annual Conference USA Football Championship Game, pitting the champions of the East and West Divisions, will be Dec. 1.

The C-USA media poll (predicted order of finish) was set to be released Tuesday.
