Miles had three student-athletes named to the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference football team, which was announced on Friday. Offensive lineman Carmelo Turner was named to the First Team while defensive lineman Kingston Lowe and punt returner Jaecyn Myles were Second Team selections. Each member of the team was selected by votes of the SIAC football coaches.

Turner, a senior from Atmore, Ala., anchored the Golden Bears offensive line from the center position, although he was capable at the guard spot as well. Miles was fourth in the SIAC in rushing yards and in first downs converted on the ground. Turner was also the winner of the Elite 17 Award, given by the SIAC to recognize the student-athlete who has reached the pinnacle of competition at the SIAC championship level in their sport while also achieving the highest academic standard among their peers.

Lowe, a redshirt sophomore from Gulf Shores, Ala., was in his first season with the Golden Bears but had a big impact along the defensive front. He finished the season with 35 tackles (16 solo), 10.5 tackles for loss and 6.0 sacks while adding five quarterback hurries and a fumble recovery. He was in the top-10 in the SIAC in sacks (t-4th) and tackles for loss (t-7th).

Myles, a freshman from Daphne, Ala., was on the field on day one and delivered on special teams right away. He averaged nearly nine yards per punt return, which was fourth in the SIAC, but also averaged more than 23 yards per kick return with an electrifying 97-yard returned for touchdown - the first at Miles in 14 years - while also catching 12 passes.
