ST. LOUIS – Five Illinois State football newcomers were recognized for their standout first seasons as Redbirds Tuesday, when they were named to the 2018 Missouri Valley Football Conference All-Newcomer Team in a vote conducted by league coaches, sports information directors and media members.
Quarterback Brady Davis, wide receiver Andrew Edgar, defensive end Romeo McKnight, offensive lineman Gabe Megginson and defensive tackle John Ridgeway were each named to the annual list of the league's top newcomers. The five selections are the most for Illinois State since 2012, when ISU also had five representatives on the list.
