1/3/2022 2:08:00 PM

SHEPHERDSTOWN, W.Va. – Junior quarterback Tyson Bagent (Martinsburg, W.Va./Martinsburg) and junior offensive lineman Joey Fisher (Hagerstown, Md./Clear Spring) have been named to the 2021 D2Football.com Elite 100. Additionally, Bagent has been named D2Football.com Offensive Player of the Year. 

Bagent, also a first team selection, led the Rams to a 13-2 mark this season and an appearance in the national semifinals. He completed 391-of-579 passes for 5,000 yards and 53 touchdowns. He led NCAA Division II in passing yards (5,000), touchdown passes (53), and points responsible for (338). He passed for four touchdowns or more in nine games. A five-time PSAC East Offensive Athlete of the Week this season, Bagent also threw for 300 yards or more in 10 contests. He is the ninth player at all NCAA levels – and only the second in Division II  - with at least 5,000 passing yards and 50 touchdown passes.

Fisher keyed an offensive line that helped Shepherd lead all NCAA II schools in first down offense (369). The Rams also ranked second in third down conversion (.550), third in total offense (502.7), and fourth in both passing offense (337.3), and scoring offense (43.7).
