Dec. 11, 2019 — UTSA record-setting running back Sincere McCormick has been named 2019 Conference USA Freshman of the Year in a voting of the league coaches, the conference office announced Wednesday afternoon.
McCormick becomes the second Roadrunner to earn C-USA Freshman of the Year honors in the past four seasons, joining 2016 winner Josiah Tauaefa.
McCormick stepped into the starting tailback role as a true freshman and broke the UTSA record with 1,177 all-purpose yards in his collegiate debut, topping the previous record of 1,121 set by Jarveon Williams in 2016. The Converse Judson High School product also eclipsed Williams’ single-game rushing yardage mark with 189, including a 51-yard touchdown dash, on 22 carries in the win at UTEP.
On the season, McCormick rushed 177 times for 983 yards and eight touchdowns, totals that each rank second on the school’s single-season list, and he added 24 catches for 194 yards and a TD. He leads C-USA freshmen and ranks third among all FBS freshmen in rushing yards per game (81.9). Additionally, he stands sixth nationally among freshmen with 98.1 all-purpose yards per contest.
In addition to his record-setting night versus UTEP, McCormick also topped the century mark with 134 yards and a pair of TDs on 23 totes in the win at Old Dominion and 119 yards on 17 attempts versus Louisiana Tech.
He opened the fall with 74 yards on just 12 rushes in the 35–7 win over UIW and followed that with 87 yards and two scores, including a 54-yard scoring jaunt, at Baylor. He nearly hit the 100-yard mark with 94 yards and a touchdown on 14 carries in the victory over Rice.
