The following information was submitted by Mike Zhe, who covers University of New Hampshire football for the Portsmouth Herald:

Not a bad write-up. Kudos for the guy to make his ballot public, 1st time I can remember anyone from the A-10/CAA doing that.

Brady Smith a Towson DE will challenge for one of those spots. He's a junior transfer from BC and not on the official roster. He tore it up in the spring game. He ran into some "legal trouble" but was aquitted, he lives up the street from campus. Lucky us!
