Lincoln Journal Star article on Silas Fluellen
Former Wayne State College quarterback Silas Fluellen, who rewrote the Wildcat football record book while helping WSC to a 24-11 record over the last three seasons, has been named the Lincoln Journal Star State College Male Athlete of the Year. Fluellen is the first WSC athlete since Brad Ottis in 1994 to receive the honor.
Fluellen became the NSIC's all-time leader in total offense and passing yards in conference games during his senior season. The Bellevue West graduate entered the NCAA record books as a senior for career marks, becoming the 19th player in NCAA Division II history to pass for more than 10,000 yards and ranked 11th in career total offense with 11,996 yards. Another special honor given to Fluellen in his senior season was the NSIC Glen Galligan Award, given to an outstanding senior football player in the NSIC who is academically superior while making a positive contribution to his institution. It's the first time that a WSC football player has received this prestigious award.
