Missouri Valley Football Announces 2017 All-Conference Squad   South Dakota's Chris Streveler is the league's Offensive Player of the Year and Western Illinois' Brett Taylor has been voted the league's top defensive player in a vote of league coaches, sports information directors and media, as announced by the conference office. Jabril Cox of North Dakota State earned both the Freshman and the Newcomer of the Year honor, while coach Chris Klieman has been tabbed "Bruce Craddock" MVFC Coach of the Year.   Streveler is the first Coyote to earn MVFC Offensive Player of the Year honors. Taylor is the first Western Illinois studentathlete to win the Defensive Player of the Year award since 2010 (LB Kyle Glazier). In addition to Taylor and Glazier, two other Leathernecks have won the league's top defensive honor including James Milton (1998) and Edgerton Hartwell (1999, 2000).   Cox is the first North Dakota State student-athlete to win the league's Newcomer of the Year award and also the Bison's first Freshman of the Year winner. Cox is the third in league history to sweep both honors, joining QB Sawyer Kollmorgen of UNI (2012) and RB Martin Ruiz of Youngstown State (2013). Klieman, meanwhile, joins Craig Bohl (2011, 2012, 2013) as North Dakota State head coaches to earn the MVFC's top coaching award.
