GREENVILLE, Pa. (pacathletics.org)--The Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) released its All-PAC football teams and annual award winners Wednesday. The All-PAC teams and yearly award winners were determined, by vote, of the league’s eight head coaches that competed in this year's spring season. 

Grove City College senior wide receiver Cody Gustafson (Shippensburg, Pa. | Shippensburg) earned PAC Offensive Most Valuable Player honors, while PAC Defensive Most Valuable Player honors went to Westminster College junior linebacker Ian Barr (State College, Pa. | State College). Geneva College freshman defensive back James Clark (Fairfax, Va. | Wakefield) was selected as the league’s Newcomer of the Year. 

Westminster seventh-year head coach Scott Benzel was voted the PAC Coach of the Year.

Gustafson, Grove City's all-time leader in receptions, receiving yards and touchdown catches, is a four-time All-PAC selection and three-time First Team honoree. He was named the PAC's Newcomer of the Year in 2017. Gustafson led the league in receptions (49) and receiving yards (623) and tied for the top spot in receiving touchdowns (5) this spring. He is Grove City's second-straight offensive most valuable player (Wesley Schools, 2019). 

Barr is a two-time All-PAC selection. This is his first time being named to the First Team. Barr totaled 31 tackles, 5.5 tackles for loss and 2.5 sacks while pacing the PAC with six forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries. He also had a pair of defensive scores for the Titans, returning a fumble 21 yards for a touchdown against Geneva College March 26 and taking a fumble back 43 yards for a touchdown against Washington & Jefferson College in the league's title game on April 23. Westminster's last defensive most valuable player was defensive back Todd Jeter in 2017. 

Clark started all five games this spring for Geneva, finishing with 16 tackles, two interceptions and 1.5 tackles for loss. He tied for the league lead with seven passes defended and two interceptions. Clark registered a career-high eight tackles against Grove City on April 16. He is Geneva's first newcomer of the year since defensive back Tim Martin in 2013.

This is Benzel's first PAC Coach of the Year citation. He is the first Westminster football coach to be honored as the league's coach of the Year. This spring Benzel guided Westminster to a 5-0 overall record, a 3-0 mark in the PAC North Division and the program's first-ever PAC title with a win over W&J in the league's championship game April 23 at Memorial Field at Harold Burry Stadium in New Wilmington.
