Connor Parker returned from a injury that prevented him from seeing action last year to become Howard Payne's starting number 9 during this season. The San Pedro, California native started in 16 of the 17 regular season games he played this season for HPU. Parker was named the ASC Offensive Player of the Week during Week 2 and was one of the most prolific goalscorers in the ASC this season with five goals.

Francisco Perez transferred to Howard Payne prior to this season and made an immediate impact in the Yellow Jacket's midfield. The Longview, Texas native started in 15 of the 16 games he played this season. Perez was tied for the third leading goalscorer his season and was the highest goalscoring central midfielder. He also chipped in two assists.
