	SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 16

	WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
	recognize Jeremiah Briscoe, who has been named the recipient of
	the 2016 Walter Payton Award; and

	WHEREAS, This prestigious award is presented annually to
	honor the best offensive player in the National Collegiate
	Athletic Association's Football Championship Subdivision; and

	WHEREAS, Mr. Briscoe is the quarterback for the Sam
	Houston State University Bearkats; he set a Football
	Championship Subdivision single-season record with 57 touchdown
	passes in 2016, eclipsing a mark that had stood for more than 30
	years; he also completed 62.6 percent of his passes and amassed
	4,602 passing yards during the 2016 football season; and

	WHEREAS, Jeremiah Briscoe played a vital role in the
	Bearkats' undefeated regular-season campaign, and he is truly
	deserving of special recognition for his hard work and commitment
	to excellence; now, therefore, be it

	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 85th
	Legislature, hereby commend Jeremiah Briscoe on his outstanding
	achievements and extend congratulations to him on being named the
	recipient of the 2016 Walter Payton Award; and, be it further

	RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for
	him as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate.
