IRVING, Texas — After winning the league title in back-to-back seasons, WKU had 21 student-athletes earn spots on the 2016 All-Conference USA squads as voted on by league head coaches, the conference announced Tuesday.

The Hilltoppers led C-USA with 14 players combined on the First and Second Teams, while adding six Honorable Mention and one All-Freshman selection. The 21 honorees were the most-ever for WKU in the FBS Era, eclipsing the mark of 17 in 2015, which had bested the 15 from the program’s inaugural C-USA season in 2014.
