Edwards also had stints on both sides of the ball as coordinators at Tusculum and Keiser University as well.
 
Mountain Lions Offense
Wake Forest transfer Tyler Mizzell has been one of the nation's best quarterbacks for Concord this season, as the redshirt sophomore ranks 6th in the country (1st MEC) in passing yards per game at 309.3 YPG, 7th in the country (1st MEC) in passing yards with 1,856, 13th in DII (1st MEC) in passing TDs with 16 and he's tied for 1st in the league in passing completions with 118. Mizzell completes 57% of his passes (4th MEC) but has thrown seven interceptions (T-7th MEC).
 
The running game has been lackluster for Concord through six games, mainly for their high-powered passing offense, as their leading rusher, Rashad Luckey-Dowdy, has netted just 176 yards and one score on the season. Maurice Jones (159 yards) and Israel Rhodes (142 yards) have also been in the mix.
 
Concord's receiving core is one of the best statistically in the conference. Their leader, West Virginia transfer Dom Collins, currently ranks first in the MEC in receiving touchdowns (7) while being 2nd in the country and 1st in the MEC in receiving yards per game (115.8). His 579 receiving yards is 11th nationally and 2nd in the league with his 4.8 receptions per game also ranking 2nd in the MEC. He's also fourth in receptions at 24. Mizzell's second weapon, Limestone transfer Keyon Concepcion, is tied for 2nd in the league in receptions (25), tied for 3rd in receptions per game (4.2) and 6th in receiving yards (365). Que Moore has also been a reliable option for the CU offense, as he ranks T-5th in the MEC in receiving TDs (4) and 9th in receiving yards (315).
 
Mountain Lions Defense
The Mountain Lions defense is spearheaded by junior defensive back Nehamiah Scott and sophomore defensive lineman Xavier Ellison, who both rank in the top 10 in multiple MEC categories. Scott ranks 6th in the MEC in tackles (50) and tackles per game (8.2) while being T-6th in TFLs at 5.5. He also leads the league in pass breakups with eight and has recorded a sack. Ellison is right behind Scott in tackles with 49 (7th) and he's 5th in the league in tackles for loss with 6.0. Ellison has also blocked two kicks this season.
 
One of the conference's top defensive back rooms is strengthened by Corey Radcliff, who has a conference-leading five interceptions with four pass breakups and 25 total tackles. Ar-Terrian Godfrey has added two picks while Ean Ryans and Monroe Ingraham both have one on the season.
