In a salute to our friend and colleague, the close-knit family of MACJC Sports Information Directors celebrate the life of the best-of-the best by sharing a thoughts and memories of our friend Mitch Deaver.
"We are excited about hosting this prestigious event," said ICC head football coach Sean Cannon. "Anytime the NFL chooses to come to your campus to host an event, it's a big deal not only for our football program, but also for the entire college."

Participants are responsible for bringing cleats, athletic shoes, shorts, shirt, gloves, and proof of a current physical. The tryouts will feature combine type drills such as 40-yard dash, individual position drills, and weight room max.
“It’s always an exciting day when you bring new guys into your program,” said Coach Sean Cannon. “We felt like we were able to get some guys that wanted to be Indians.”
Scouts note Saxton’s large catching radius along with subtle quickness complimented by his ability to change speeds and get in-and-out of breaks as some of his strong points entering the combine, but also recognizes he has room for improvement as a line-of-scrimmage blocker.
"We measure success in more than just wins and loses," said Coach Sean Cannon. "We strive to help our players not only be successful on the field, but we want to help them to continue being successful long after their football careers are over and that starts in the classroom."
“This is a great honor for Jeb,” said Coach Sean Cannon. “This is something he worked extremely hard to earn after having a great freshman season and it’s great seeing all his hard work and dedication pay off for him in a big way.”
“Give God all the glory,” said Williams after the competition. “I would be nothing without Him providing me with the strength and ability to achieve this success in His name.”
“This is a great honor for Jacquez,” said Coach Sean Cannon. “A guy with speed and size has a lot of potential to go on and do big things as a wide receiver position on the next level.”

Sophomore linebacker Devan Gilleylen was named National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) Defensive Player of the Week when the national office announced their weekly honorees on Wednesday.

“It was a good overall win,” said Coach Sean Cannon. “We had way, way too many penalties and that’s really what set us back in the first half, but our guys overcame that and was able to get a great victory.”
