Individual Awards for 2010 regular season

[Donnell88]

My two cents:

Most Outstanding Player: Zach Line. Before the season started, Athlon Sports had SMU's running back
position ranked as the worst in C-USA. Zach Line led the conference in rushing. Guess he showed them.

Outstanding Lineman: Kelvin Beachum. He not only protected Kyle Padron's blind side, he also opening a lot of wholes for our running game.

Outstanding Defensive Player: Ja'Gared Davis. Put constant pressure on opposing QBs; added bonus - scored two touchdowns.

Most Improved Player: Richard Crawford: After a shaky start against Texas Tech, finished season with three interceptions in last two games.

All-Madden team (Offense): Cole Beasley. Made several clutch receptions on third down to keep drives alive.

All-Madden team (Defense): Pete Fleps. Rock solid throughout the year.

Most Likely to star in NFL: Aldrick Robinson. Will probably duplicate the success of Emmanual Sanders.

Most Inspirational Player: Chris Banjo. A steady influence on a secondary that was ravaged by injuries and academic casualties.

Unsung Hero: Adrian Klemm. An outstanding recruiter.

A belated thank you: Phil Bennett. Please, no hate mail. But he recruited Beachum, Robinson.
Fleps and Youri Yenga.

I'd agree with all of these. I dont think Beachum is going anywhere though he is a junior.

[Donnell88]

You're right, Beachum was a redshirt. I've made the correction.

[redpony]

I would have to go for Sterling Moore as the most inspirational. Our D really missed him when he wasn't able to play.

GO PONIES!!!

[reddevil]

I'd also say Sterling gets the defensive MVP, our D was entirely different when he was out.

[Junior]

i think you could make an argument as z line for most improved as well.

Most Underrated Player: Taylor Reed

[BleedingRed+Blue]

Outstanding Offensive Player: Zach Line (he should get C-USA Offensive Player of the Year, too)
Outstanding Lineman: Bryce Tennison (amazingly athletic, and has played through a lot of injuries)
Outstanding Defensive Player: Sterling Moore
Most Improved Player: Zach Line — not even close
Most Likely To Star In NFL: Taylor Thompson, Ja'Gared Davis
Most Inspirational Player: Ryan Smith (that story about the bleeding in his chest still scares me)
Unsung Hero: Taylor Reed

A belated thank you: Phil Bennett. Please, no hate mail. But he recruited Beachum, Robinson.
Fleps and Youri Yenga.

Beasley as well.

[LA_Mustang]

Most likely to star in the NFL: Sterling Moore (assuming he is 100% healthy) and when he's done at SMU, Davis will make an impact on Sundays. His motor never stops. IMO, he's the most talented player on our team.

I think this roster has several other NFL caliber players on it: Beachum, Robinson, Hunt and D. Johnson to name a few.
