BCU Football to Hold Annual Awards Banquet

DAYTONA BEACH, Florida  -- Bethune-Cookman University football will hold its annual end-of-year awards banquet Saturday, Jan. 18, at the Plaza Resort & Spa in Daytona Beach, Fla. Veteran play-by-play announcer for ESPN, Charlie Neal, will serve as master of ceremonies for the annual event.

The event will take place at the Plaza Resort & Spa, located at 600 North Atlantic Avenue on beachside in Daytona Beach. Doors will open at 6:30 p.m., with the banquet beginning at 7 p.m.

Recently completing the 2013 season under head coach Brian Jenkins, who just finished his fourth year at the helm in Daytona Beach, the B-CU Wildcats ended the year as HBCU National Champions in the BoxToRow media poll. In addition, several Wildcats were named to numerous All-America teams, while Jenkins received his third Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) Coach of the Year award in four years – the second consecutive for the Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. native.

B-CU claimed its second MEAC title in as many years during the 2013 campaign, and the third in four years under Jenkins. The Wildcats advanced to the NCAA FCS Playoffs for third time in four years, travelling to Coastal Carolina in Conway, S.C.
