The Big South Conference concluded its 2015 Big South Football Media Day events in Atlanta, Ga., last week, officially kicking off the 14th season the conference has sponsored football.
During the two-day event, head coaches and players ran through a series of media interviews with national, regional and local media members. The Liberty Flames Sports Network was on site providing today's video interview with senior defensive lineman Chima Uzowihe.
Uzowihe earned his second All-Big South first team honor last season and was named to the 2014 VaSID second team all-state squad.
The Houston, Texas, native led the Big South with a career-best 14.0 tackles for a loss and ranked second in the conference with 8.0 sacks in 2014. He also ranked third in the conference with three forced fumbles.
Uzowihe, who started all 14 games at right end, was also a key member of Liberty's special teams units. He finished the season with two blocked kicks, including a field goal block as time expired to allow Liberty to upset No. 1 Coastal Carolina, 15-14, during the final game of the regular season and push the Flames into the NCAA FCS Playoffs.
Uzowihe's preseason honors include being named to the STATS FCS Preseason All-America team and the STATS FCS Preseason Defensive Player of the Year Award watch list. The senior has also been nominated for the Allstate AFCA Goods Works Team®.
