FCS Top 50 and Positional Ratings

[Col Hogan]

Outstanding job, and you pretty much hit the UMass players positions on the head...

I could argue for Josh Jennings to be higher ranked among linebackers...he was CAA Defensive player of the week several times...

But, Outstanding Job...and Thanks for the effort...

[SmallCollegeFBFan]

Keep an eye out for Dominique McDuffie, DB/S for ASU. He started as a true freshman last year at LSU and was injured in practice (blew out his knee) shortly there after. He would have started ahead of Ed Gainey, and has great size, speed, and hits hard. I've heard that it's yet undecided if he will continue at corner or will move to a more natural safety position.

I saw him against LSU and he should be good. He needs to control his temper (the personal foul penalty in that game) but has the skill. He is moving to safety from what I was told. He has the physical tools to play in the NFL. He just needs to refine his game and keep working hard. He has a long ways to go before the NFL will look at him.

Thanks! I think you could argue he could be as high as #10 and had I done this list in the mid-season he would have been in the top 10, with the graduated seniors included, however with the defense as bad as it was and the fact that when I saw him he was good but not great, I dropped him some. I would rate Jennings as your 3rd best player behind Miles and Ducasse. Both of those kids will likely play in the NFL.

Nice list

[JMUpurplehazed]

I'm glad to see Griff Yancey of James Madison on the list of running-backs, #24. The funny thing is, the rumor mill says Griff Yancey is being moved to the defensive backfiled this year...James Madison must have a lot of good running backs if number #24 in the country is going to cover receivers out of the backfield

Based on everything I have he is still listed as a RB. I think the only reason they would move him is because he is athletic and they have several holes in the D due to injury and graduation from last year.

Impressive list.


This, however, is what I love about UNI. Top talent in the nation, top team in the nation, but players rarely get recognized.


Great work on the list though

For the record, in my complete list, I have Derrick Law #42 RB, Ryan Mahaffey #7 FB, and Billy Hallgren #18 K.

Who do you consider to be missing that could be considered based on what they have done thus far?

Personally I feel Grace was low, he isn't going to dazzle anyone, but he is solid. Our back up, Zach Davis, didn't have the numbers those others had, but he would be starting for a vast majority of teams right now, and is pushing Grace for the UNI job.

Josh Collins - WR/KR/PR - 5-9 / 193

2008: Named to the Missouri Valley Conference's All-Newcomer team ... led the team with 32 receptions for 502 yards ... rushed the ball seven times for 26 yards, including a season-long of 13 yards ... returned 12 punts for 110 yards ... returned five kicks for 112 yards ... ranked fourth on the team with 750 all-purpose yards ... began his Panther career with a bang as he caught a 76-yard touchdown pass from Victor Williams against Brigham Young (8/30) ... caught three passes for 114 yards and a score vs. the Cougars at Lavell Edwards Stadium ... caught a 62-yard pass in a 31-17 victory over Illinois State (10/11) ... returned four punts for 56 yards, including a season-long 29-yard return in a 28-0 victory at Indiana State (11/15) ... gained 120 all-purpose yards (50 receiving, 53 kick returns, 17 punt returns) in a 36-34 victory over New Hampshire in the FCS quarterfinals ... caught a season-high six passes for 46 yards in the FCS semifinals vs. Richmond. His numbers are low due to the offense UNI runs and until Johnny Gray and Victor Williams (2 of the best in FCS last year) were dismissed from the team, he was the #3/#4 guy. He is very similar to what Johnny Gray brought to the table (think Percy Harvin type player)

Jarred Herring - WR/KR/PR - 5-9/170

2008: Earned Honorable Mention All-Missouri Valley Football Conference honors as a true freshman ... named to the MVFC's All-Newcomer team ... saw action in all 15 games ... averaged a team-best 19.3 yards per reception ... led the team with four touchdown receptions on the season - with three of those coming in the FCS playoffs ... caught eight passes for 155 yards and three touchdowns in the playoffs alone ... caught a 42-yard scoring strike from Pat Grace against Maine (11/29) ... added another 55-yard score against the Black Bears, and tallied three total receptions for 102 yards against Maine ... nabbed a 10-yard touchdown pass against Richmond (12/13) in the FCS semifinals ... his 36-yard touchdown reception helped the Panthers to a 34-14 victory over Nicholls State (10/2) on an ESPNU national television broadcast ... earned MVFC Special Teams Player of the Week honors after returning four kicks for 150 yards and powering the Panthers to a 23-13 victory over North Dakota State (10/18) ... returned the opening kickoff 23 yards to set up the Panthers' first score of the game ... later in the first quarter, he returned his second kick of the game 70 yards to the NDSU 25-yard line ... his third return of the game registered 25 yards and set up the Panthers at the 50-yard line ... his final return vs. NDSU came on a squib kick in the fourth quarter and he returned the ball 32 yards to the UNI 37-yard line ... made his first career start at Indiana State (11/15) where he made one catch for 52 yards and helped the Panthers to a 28-0 victory over the Sycamores ... ranked No. 2 in the MVFC and No. 18 in the nation in kickoff returns (25.54 yards/return) ... ranked No. 2 on the team with 887 all-purpose yards. His numbers are low due to the offense UNI runs and until Johnny Gray and Victor Williams (2 of the best in FCS last year) were dismissed from the team, he was the #3/#4 guy. He is very similar to what Johnny Gray brought to the table (think Percy Harvin type player)

D.J. Hord - WR - 6-1/198

2006 (Notre Dame): Missed the entire 2006 season due to injury.

2005 (Notre Dame): Played in six games (BYU, Tennessee, Navy, Syracuse, Stanford and Ohio State) ... returned seven kickoffs for 123 yards (17.6-yard average) ... had one kickoff return for 13 yards against Ohio State in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl ... returned one kickoff for 16 yards in the win over Syracuse ... had three kickoff returns for 70 yards vs. Tennessee, including a 36-yarder ... made his Notre Dame debut vs. BYU, seeing action as a kickoff return starter and as a reserve wide receiver ... returned two kickoffs for 24 yards against the Cougars, including a 21-yarder ... logged 3:57 of playing time at receiver with 31 special teams appearances.

Look for him to be this years Victor Williams, killer on the ins, outs, hooks, hook and go's. Extremely quick cuts.

Austin Howard - LT - 6-7/319

Being looked at as a possible 3rd round pick at OL due to his size and speed. Played TE in HS and his first three years of college. Massive at 6'7 319lbs, can palm a gallon of milk like it is a toy basketball.

Jamar Thompson - OLB -6-4/215

2008: Earned All-Missouri Valley Football Conference honorable mention status ... started all 15 games at linebacker ... tied for the team lead with three forced fumbles ... ranked second on the team with 110 total tackles and four interceptions ... ranked fourth on the squad with 10 tackles-for-loss ... credited with at least four tackles in every game ... began the year with a 10-tackle effort against Brigham Young (8/30) ... forced and recovered a fumble to go along with eight tackles and a tackle-for-loss in UNI's 24-13 win over South Dakota (9/6) ... secured eight more tackles and a quarterback sack in a 34-20 win over South Dakota State (9/20) ... returned an interception 36 yards and tallied six stops (1.5 TFLs) in a 34-14 triumph over Nicholls State (10/2) ... secured an interception and added eight tackles in a 31-17 win over Illinois State (10/18) ... extended his streak to three straight games with an interception when he picked off a North Dakota State pass in UNI's 23-13 victory over the Bison (10/18) ... tallied his fourth interception of the season in a 28-0 victory at Indiana State (11/15) ... keyed a strong defensive second-half from the Panthers in a 34-24 win at Southern Utah (11/22) ... on SUU's first second-half possession, Thompson tackled SUU running back Kennie Apilli, stripped him of the ball, caught the fumble in mid-air and ran it in 32 yards for a touchdown ... against the T-Birds he had eight total tackles (six solos), which included two tackles-for-loss and a quarterback sack ... capped the year with a career-best 20 tackles in the FCS semifinals vs. Richmond (12/13) ... his 20-tackle effort tied for the sixth-highest single-game total in school history.

2007: Played in all 13 games ... earned his first collegiate start at linebacker against Delaware (12/1) in the FCS quarterfinals ... tallied then career-high in tackles in both playoff games ... notched nine tackles (seven solos), blocked a punt and forced a fumble in a 38-35 win over New Hampshire (11/24) in the first round of the playoffs ... secured nine more stops and a pass breakup against Delaware ... credited with at least one tackle in every game.

Good stuff! Howard is on my list already. Grace is a player that you could argue could move up 3-5 spots and one that could be 2-3 spots lower, IMO.

Hord is the only one on that list that could crack my rankings at this point, overlooked him some, but he would only be around 50 at this point. As we all know there will be some players who soar up the rankings this year and prove these preseason lists wrong. I will definitely add any player I missed that is worthy in my postseason lists.

Thanks for the info!

Outstanding job, and you pretty much hit the UMass players positions on the head...

I could argue for Josh Jennings to be higher ranked among linebackers...he was CAA Defensive player of the week several times...

But, Outstanding Job...and Thanks for the effort...

SmallcollegeFBfan, if these rankings are calculated based on overall career, awards, etc. how can you not include the top tackler in the CAA in your top 25.

I'm not overlooking Dieker. SCFBFAN said it well when he said that Grace could be 5 spots higher, or 2 spots lower. He is very streaky, which is why he is low. If he comes out this year and can shake off the bad decisions (a lot of them made because of his knee injury) he will be a top 10 FCS qb this year

Higgins is on my list. I can't remember what I posted on here before but Higgins should have been listed among the top 25. I have him at #25. The reason Higgins is not higher is because of the fact he is really the only LB in their unit that makes plays and probably makes many tackles solely because they just don't have anyone else. Here is the complete LB list.

Gotcha. Look for Dieker to move up, if MacDonald doesn't beat him out, he spent last year learning a new system and still threw for 2,000+ yds. and 16 TDs.

Wait until April 1st for the April fool's jokes

Edwards has to be #1 right now and it is hard to say that Waggener should be ahead of Higgins or Nichols. I have seen all 3 and Waggener has NFL tools but is just not very good yet. Denham is one that I could see being top 5 in the next year or so. He flashes but has the luxury of 2 great WRs and I want to see how he does in 2010 when they both are in the NFL. Nichols has so many weapons that he could surprise us all and be a legit Payton candidate, if those guys don't let that NCAA ban get to them.

No Michael Herrick on your list anywhere?

SCFBFan - did you have Anthony Llanos from NAU (linebacker) on your lists anywhere? Had a great spring.

[dbackjon]

Also - Cody Dowd from NAU should get some attention.

[Ursus A. Horribilis]

One of his criteria was what they have done so far and what you can reasonably expect without too much wishful thinking involved. I'm not saying anyone is doing that but it's a consideration for his list. I think Chase will be one of the best RB's and he was rated high but based on SCFF's statement I think he has him right about where he should be.

Dowd is on my list but Llanos is not on it yet.

Thanks. Yeah there are many good players that I am sure some fans know about that I have not started yet or that I haven't got to see and when I get information on them from this season I will add them.
