It's gonna me Moats... but, I wish DJ Smith was at least on the ballot.

107 tackles
12 tackles for loss (-51 yards)
2 Sacks (-15 yards)
1 INT (34 yards)
2 Fumble recoveries (12 yards)
1 Forced fumble
7 break ups
8 passes defended
5 QB hurries

Think he'll be a leading candidate next year?

Doubt you will see two players from one team on the Buchanan this year and I honestly would not put Smith over LeGree. LeGree is going to play on Sundays. Hopefully ASU nominated LeGree for DEF POY instead of Roman this year. I know they like to honor seniors but LeGree truly deserves DEF POY honors this year. He should have gotten it last year. I would not be shocked if LeGree finds his way on the Nagurski list again next year as long as he does well in the playoffs.

Yeah, I wasn't really saying he should be on instead of Legree. Didn't know they wouldn't include two players from the same team.

What do you think about DJ's draft prospects? He's probably too small for LB but do you think he could play safety?
