Western Kentucky had 15 players earn spots on the 2017 All-Conference USA squads as voted on by league coaches, the conference announced Tuesday.
The Hilltoppers have had at least that many in all four years as a league member, with 15 in the program's inaugural C-USA season in 2014, 17 in 2015 and a program-record 21 in 2016.
Linebacker Joel Iyiegbuniwe and left guard Brandon Ray each earned their first appearances on the First Team. Iyiegbuniwe improved from Honorable Mention in 2016, while Ray was previously on the 2014 C-USA All-Freshman Team. They were two of the six Hilltoppers who started all 12 games this season.
