DENTON – Senior quarterback Mason Fine was selected as the favorite to win his third straight Conference USA Offensive Player of the Year award, as voted on by the league's 14 head coaches.
The Peggs, Oklahoma, native enters his fourth season as a starter as the FBS' active national leader in career passing yards (9,417) and is the two-time reigning Conference USA Offensive Player of the Year. He leads a Mean Green offense that has averaged 35.1 points per game over the last two seasons.
Fine threw for 3,793 yards, 27 touchdowns to just five interceptions, completed 64.6% of his passes and added two more scores on the ground in 2018.
Additionally, North Texas tied for the most preseason all-conference selections in the league, with five. Fine, redshirt senior center Sosaia Mose, senior receiver Rico Bussey, Jr., senior defensive end LaDarius Hamilton and redshirt senior punter Alvin Kenworthy all earned preseason all-conference recognition from the league's head coaches.
North Texas kicks off its 2019 season on Saturday, Aug. 31, against Abilene Christian at 6:30 p.m. at Apogee Stadium. To purchase 2019 season tickets click here, or call the North Texas Athletic Ticket Office at 940-565-2527.
