OFFICIAL NJCAA RELEASE

Four members of the 2015 Hinds Community College football team were chosen as National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) All-Americans on Monday.

Hinds had three members selected to the All-American second team and one member named to the All-American Honorable Mention team.

Marcus Loud (Houston, Texas), Greg Taylor (East St. Louis, Ill.) and Javon Wims (Miami, Fla.) were the three individuals named to the second team, while D'Tavieus Taylor (Pearl) was the lone Honorable Mention selection.

All four student-athletes were also selected to the All-Region team and Mississippi Association of Community and Junior Colleges (MACJC) All-State first team in November.

Loud, a sophomore defensive lineman, wreaked havoc on the Eagles front line all season, as he finished with 83 tackles, six sacks, 5.5 tackles for loss, blocked a kick and forced and recovered a fumble.

Greg Taylor, a sophomore defensive back, tied for the team lead with three interceptions to go along with 53 tackles, one tackle for loss and one pass breakup. He also had a punt return for a touchdown.

Wims, a sophomore wide receiver, was named Most Outstanding Offensive Player for the South division after reeling in 47 passes for 779 yards and nine touchdowns, which led the Eagles in all three categories.

D'Tavieus Taylor, a sophomore offensive lineman, helped pave the way for a Hinds offense that averaged 426.4 yards per contest in 2015.
