James Tabary’s record-breaking debut season earned another honor Friday.
Tabary, the Arkansas State transfer who set new McNeese State records for pass attempts and completions and fell 33 yards shy of breaking the school’s single-season passing record, was named the Louisiana Sports Writers Association Newcomer of the Year on Friday evening.
Voted upon by a panel of the state’s sports writers and sports information directors, Tabary edged LSU quarterback Danny Etling by five votes for the honor. Completing 60 percent of his passes, Tabary finished with 23 touchdown passes and 3,036 total yards.
Tabary, who was named the Southland Conference’s Newcomer of the Year in November, set a school record with four 300-yard passing games and his exploits powered the McNeese passing offense to its best season ever. The program set school records for passing yards (3,346) and passing yards per game (304.2).
Cowboys defensive end Jammerio Gross and kick returner Khalil Thomas were named second team All-Louisiana.
Gross, a defensive end, led the team with 59 tackles while chipping in 13 tackles for loss and 7.5 sacks.
Thomas led the Southland in kick return average and had one return for a touchdown — a 97-yarder in a 42-35 win against Incarnate Word.
