In recognition of their achievements throughout the 2009 football season, Coach Henry Frazier III and junior quarterback K. J. Black were allowed the opportunity to join the 100 Percent Wrong Club of Atlanta on Feb. 6.
Leading the team to a 9-1 record and its first SWAC championship season since 1964, Frazier received the club’s Ralph C. Robinson Coach of the Year Award.
In addition to his SWAC Offensive Player of the Year Award, and leading the FCS division leader in passing efficiency, Black also received The Alonzo S. “Jake” Gaither Award. Considered the club’s highest honor, this award is named after legendary Florida A&M head coach Jake Gathier, and it recognizes the top athlete from a historically black college or university.
Black said, “Its an honor to be awarded any type of honor, no matter what it is. It’s an honor that myself, Coach Frazier, and the school can be recognized in such high ranks.”
Frazier and Black’s recognition will continue this weekend, as they will be accompanied by redshirt-junior defensive end Quinton Spears, junior offensive lineman James Delke, and senior defensive back Anthony Beck at the Sheridan Broadcast Network Black College All-American Awards in Orlando, Fla.
Spears said, “It feels good to be honored but, without my teammates, it wouldn’t have been possible. After coming up short these past few seasons, it feels good to finally reach our goal, and win the SWAC.”
