Southeastern Places Six on All
HAMMOND, La. – Six members of the Southeastern Louisiana University football team earned spots on the 2024 Louisiana Sports Writers Association All-Louisiana Collegiate Football Teams, which were released by the LSWA Thursday.
Southeastern had a total of seven All-Louisiana selections, which was the fourth-highest in the state behind UL Lafayette (10), LSU (10) and Tulane (8) and the most among all FCS in-state schools.
Darius Lewis was named to the team twice, as a first team return specialist and second team wide receiver. Lewis is the first player in program history to be named to the All-Louisiana team at multiple positions in the same season.
Lewis was joined on the first team by defensive back Keydrain Calligan. The Lion contingent was completed by a quartet of second team selections – offensive lineman Brockhim Wicks, defensive lineman Warren Peeples, defensive back Khamron Ford and punter Alec Mahler.
Lewis added more accolades to his growing postseason trophy case. The New Orleans native previously earned All-America recognition from the Associated Press, FCS Football Central and Phil Steele to go with his multiple first team All-Southland Conference nods at wide receiver and punt returner.
As a receiver, he is currently ninth in the FCS with 82 receptions and eighth nationally in receptions per game at the end of the regular season. His 82 receptions are the second-most in program history and accounted for 806 yards and five touchdowns. As a punt returner, he leads the FCS in the national rankings with 18.5 yards per punt return.
Calligan was the Lions’ top cornerback in his lone season in Hammond after transferring from Jackson State. The New Iberia, Louisiana native and first team All-SLC selection finished with 39 tackles (29 solo) from his cornerback position and consistently drew the opposing team’s top receiver. Calligan intercepted a pass in 30-27 overtime victory over Lamar and recorded a season-high seven tackles in a 24-23 win over Stephen F. Austin. He was credited with a season-high two pass breakups in a 37-7 road victory over HCU.
Wicks earned his first All-Louisiana nod to go with his first team All-SLC selection after serving as the leader of the Southeastern offensive line, starting all 12 games at right tackle. The Plaquemine, Louisiana native helped clear the way for the SLC’s leading rusher and helped the Lions rank third in the SLC with 29.0 points per game versus league competition.
Like Calligan, Peeples also earned first team All-Southland honors in his lone season in the green and gold, serving as SLU’s top pass rusher in his first season in Hammond. The Stone Mountain, Georgia native was fifth in the Southland in sacks with four of those sacks coming versus Southland Conference competition. Peeples had two sacks in 24-23 win over Stephen F. Austin, while also credited for sacks at HCU and versus Stephen F. Austin. He made a season-high eight tackles in a 30-27 SLU overtime win at Lamar.
Ford, a second team All-SLC pick, was one of the Lions’ top tacklers in his first year as a full-time starter. The Olive Branch, Mississippi product finished the regular season ranked 11th in the SLC in tackles. In conference games, his 55 tackles are good for 10th in the league. He posted 14 tackles versus UIW and recorded 10 tackles in SLC wins over SFA and East Texas A&M. Ford intercepted a pass and returned it 42 yards to set up a touchdown in a 37-7 victory over HCU and forced a fumble in a 24-23 victory over SFA.
Mahler took over the full-time punting role midway through the season after splitting time with teammate Jack Hunter. His 45.6 punting average would have been good for sixth in FCS had he attempted enough punts to qualify in the national rankings. Nine of the Vacherie, Louisiana native’s 32 punts were over 50 yards, including a school-record tying 75-yarder at Nicholls and a 72-yard punt that was the third-longest in school history in a 30-27 overtime win at Lamar.
LSU quarterback Garrett Nussmeier and linebacker Whit Weeks were named the state’s offensive and defensive player of the year, respectively. ULM running back Ahmad Hardy (Freshman of the Year), Tulane wide receiver Mario Williams (Newcomer of the Year) and UL Lafayette head coach Michael Desormeaux (Coach of the Year). A voting panel of media and athletic communications directors selected the teams.

Tennessee volleyball chose a bad time to play its worst volleyball of the season.
The No. 7 seed Lady Vols were on their heels in the beginning of the match against Utah State, and they didn’t have enough to complete the reverse-sweep. Tennessee (20-8) fell 3-2 to the Aggies (24-7) in a shocking upset in the first round of the NCAA tournament at Desert Financial Arena in Tempe, Arizona, on Dec. 4.
The Lady Vols won two straight sets to make it a five-set thriller, and they battled from behind the entire fifth set, which they ultimately lost 15-11. In the end, it wasn’t enough to recover from their poor start.
By the time Tennessee started playing like its season was on the line, it was staring down a reverse sweep to advance. But against a red-hot Utah State team, which entered the tournament on a 21-game winning streak, the late push wasn’t enough.
In the first two sets, the Aggies picked apart the Lady Vols defense at the net and on the floor – it was a clinical dismantling by Utah State, which made all the scrappy, game-winning plays of a team that swept the Mountain West championships.
The Lady Vols made a fierce comeback attempt, turning the tide with sharper, more aggressive serving in the third and fourth sets to force a five-set thriller. They found their footing on defense, and they got a spark from Sydney Jones to launch and more balanced attack.
Outside hitter Starr Williams was a bright spot in the offense, especially while Tennessee looks all out of sorts the first two sets. She continued to be a focal point all match, and she logged 15 kills with a .387 hitting percentage, along with seven digs and four blocks.
Jones was a difference-maker as a reserve, and she continued to score points for the Lady Vols when they needed them. Jones ended the night with 12 kills, and Hayden Kubik also added 12 kills.
The Lady Vols’ offense hit just .228 as a team, while they allowed Utah State to hit .312. They struggled to slow down the Aggies’ attack between Tierney Barlow, who ended the match with 16 kills, and Loryn Helgesen and Andrea Simovski, who both had 14 kills.
Tennessee middle blocker Zoe Humphrey did not travel with the team, according to the ESPN broadcast.
