DODGE CITY, KS- Former Chowan University football student-athlete Josh Floyd made his mark this season as the quarterback on the Dodge City Law. The Law competes as a member of the Champions Professional Indoor Football League (CPIFL), which initiated play in February 2013. The indoor football league is based in the Midwestern United States region.
Floyd played in nine games during the Law's inaugural season. He completed 104 of 179 passes for 1374 yards and 22 touchdowns with only 8 interceptions. He also ran the ball 90 times for 394 yards and 16 touchdowns. As a result of his efforts, he was named Second Team All-CPIFL.
Floyd arrived in Dodge City after the Law had lost their two main quarterback options during the third game of the season. The veteran quarterback quickly took control of the offense and led the team from a 1-3 start to an 8-4 finish during the regular season.
"Josh gave our team a boost when we needed it most," Law head coach Sean Ponder said. "His ability to pass and run the ball forced defenses to play us differently and it gave us new options in terms of play calling. You have to give it to Josh, he came in here ready to play and ready to make our team better. He definitely deserves the honor he has received."
Floyd, a native of Chesapeake, Virginia and graduate of Oscar Smith High School, competed for Chowan from 2004-2007. He played a variety of positions before settling in as a quarterback his senior year. During the 2005 season, as a wide receiver, Floyd had 38 receptions totaling 787 yards, which was a record at the time.
