Pulley on watch list for Payton Award

FAMU Quarterback Curtis Pulley's strong arm and fast feet are garnering national attention and buzz for one of the Division I Football Championship Subdivision's top awards.

For the second week in a row, Pulley was selected as the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) Offensive Player of the Week.

“I’ve been using the word ‘phenomenal,’” Head Coach Joe Taylor told The FAMUan. “Rushing, throwing, just being an overall leader, he’s really special.”

Pulley (QB, 6-4, 200, r-Sr., Hopkinsville, Ky.) rushed for a MEAC season best 236 yards on 20 carries with two touchdowns in the Rattlers 31-28 win over Morgan State. The run performance tops a previous 196-yard MEAC season top performance also set by Pulley in the season opener versus Delaware State on Sept. 5. Pulley also connected on 13-of-23 passes for 174 yards with a passing touchdown.

“It’s no fluke that he’s on the Walter Payton watch list for one of the best players at this particular level,” Taylor said.

The Walter Payton Award, presented annually by the Sports Network, is given to the most outstanding offensive player in the FCS.

Curtis Pulley is the greatest athlete in the State of Florida. If I was coaching a team and we had 80 yards and 1 minute left to win the game, I would choose Curtis Pulley over all the other QBs in the state to lead my team.
