Dozen Cardinals Named All-MAC, Martin Claims Top Defensive Honor

MUNCIE, Ind. -- The MAC West Division champion Ball State football team placed 12 players, including 10 seniors, on the 2020 All-MAC teams, led by inside linebacker Brandon Martin as the league's co-defensive player of the year.

Martin was one of four All-MAC first-teamers for the Cardinals, joining two others from the defense -- outside linebacker Anthony Ekpe and safety Bryce Cosby -- and Justin Hall who earned spots on the first team as both a receiver and kick returner.

Ball State had five representatives on the second team in quarterback Drew Plitt, offensive lineman Curtis Blackwell, outside linebacker Christian Albright, cornerback Antonio Phillips and punter Nathan Snyder.
