Here are my top 20 names. There were 3-4 other names that I almost included. Who from your team would you recommend should be considered as well? This is a light year on DEs so I am sure someone will have a breakout year and become a favorite for the award.

DE Christian Anthony, Grambling State, Sr.
DT Martin Parker, Richmond, Sr.
DT Kenrick Ellis, Hampton, Sr.
OLB J.C. Sherritt, Eastern Washington, Sr.
OLB Eric McBride, Richmond, Sr.
OLB Marty Patterson, Gardner-Webb, Sr.
OLB Derek Domino, South Dakota State, Sr.
OLB Terence Thomas, Villanova, Sr.
OLB Kyle Glazier, Western Illinois, Sr.
ILB Jabara Williams, Stephen F. Austin, Sr.
ILB Bryce Smith, Samford, Sr.
ILB Jake Trantin, William & Mary, Jr.
ILB Kadarron Anderson, Furman, Jr.
ILB Joshua Jones, Elon, Jr.
CB Korey Lindsey-Woods, Southern Illinois, Sr.
CB Trumaine Johnson, Montana, Jr.
CB Josh Norman, Coastal Carolina, Jr.
CB Justin Rogers, Richmond, Sr.
CB Jeremy Caldwell, Eastern Kentucky, Jr.
FS Mark LeGree, Appalachian State, Sr.

Thanks for starting this - was on my "to-do" list...

I would say NAU's Matt Estrada deserves some consideration

James Vercammen, University of Dayton

Possibly Eric Stoll S from Montana

Drenard Williams, Texas State, Sr.
Medical Redshirt last season. Played 2 seasons at Iowa St before transferring in. Has played DB/CB but I don't know where they'll put him this year...possibly replacing Travis Houston at Bandit. (Also does KOR) He was awesome in 2008 and we really missed having him last year.

LB - Marcus Clark, Texas State, Sr
I'm pretty sure he's ILB, but not sure which side
He's quietly made a name for himself the past 3 years. Has played all 3 years and as a true freshman he got to play alongside his older brother - Nick

ILB Joshua Jones, but also, Elon DE Brandon Ward. If he can have a breakout year will be in the discussion

Tommy Connors, SS, 6-1, 215, R-Sr, Southeastern Louisiana

He was on the pre-season list last year but broke his thumb in third game of season at Ole Miss...got a medical hardship and will be back in 2010...should have a monster year in our defense which will be very good overall.

Jason House, Southern, 1st year playing Safety recorded 10 picks. With a new defensive scheme and more experience he could be a big time ball hawk this season.

With fellow LB Zach Johnson coming back, I wouldn't be surprised to see Sherritt's numbers drop and DT Renard Williams sneak onto the list instead. Outside of TJ, he's our best NFL prospect.


As a sophmore (6-2, 300) 16 of his 35 tackles were TFL, with 9 sacks, 1 forced fumble, and 5 QB hurries.

Mark LeGree DB-Senior 6-0 200

Any list must have B.W. Webb, astonishingly just a rising sophomore, William & Mary's already great defensive back who had one of the great true freshman seasons last year. Eight interceptions, All-CAA, twice CAA Player of the Week, the only 1AA defensive player ever to be named the 1A Defensive Player of the Week (for his game in the W&M win over UVA where B.W. had three interceptions, one for the game clinching TD, in his first collegiate game).

Sac State:
DT Christian Clark (10 sacks (led the BSC), 44 tackles, 15.5 TFL last season)
SS Zach Schrader (103 tackles, 4 INT’s last season)
Both players are seniors.

My thoughts exactly, but I would also throw Matt Johnson into the mix. Any one of those 4 could make some serious noise this year.

Yeah, but unfortunately we only play PSU once this year.
