Cox is the fifth player ever from Western Oregon to be named to the team, since the school moved to the NCAA Division II level in 2000. Other players selected have been wide receiver Brad Satran (2003), linebacker Dave Morrill (2002), defensive back Elton Seals (2001) and offensive lineman Brian Crawford (2000). Crawford earned the Jim Langer Award, given to the outstanding offensive lineman at the game.
Cox was the only Western Oregon player selected this year, and was also the only athlete tabbed from the Great Northwest Athletic Conference.
Cox was named the Great Northwest Athletic Conference Defensive Player of the Year this past fall and he was a unanimous first team All-GNAC selection. The four-year starter is the GNAC's all-time leader in quarterback sacks (27.5) and tackles-for-loss (58.5). He ranked fifth among all NCAA Division II players in TFL and is eighth in QB sacks. The Salem native (North Salem High School) was also named the Wolves Marquis Spas Football Athlete of the Year.
