MOST IMPROVED PLAYER: RYAN LENDY, USC

USC wideout Ryan Lendy went from 16 catches and 287 yards, to a whopping 82 catches and 1,093 receiving yards. I mean this guy broke last years stats with one game against Alabama. He set a record with 15 catches for 381 yards and two touchdowns. Lendy was a focal point of the USC offense and the primary helper for Banes Offensive Player of the Year trophy. Lendy proves that just because you have one down year, doesn’t mean you can’t ball out the next.

FRESHMAN OF THE YEAR & FAN OF THE YEAR: BO DIDDLE, BOISE STATE

Not a day goes by that you don’t see Bo Diddle’s name in league chat nor is he quiet on the field. Diddle brought home 47 tackles with 25 for a loss and 16 sacks. He contributed three forced fumbles as well. The Diddle-Monster will be taking his talents over to Clemson as a Co-AD.

AD OF THE YEAR: ERIC MEARS, TEXAS A&M

No one could have predicted the massive turnaround that Eric Mears led for Texas A&M. The Aggies went 2-6 last season and made a complete turnaround to go 7-4 this season and a few seconds away from winning it all. Mears was the heart and soul as well of the Aggie defense and became the first TAMU coach to have a winning season.

MOST OUTSTANDING SENIOR: DANE JONES, CLEMSON

Halfback Dane Jones finishes off one of the most impressive HB careers in awhile. Jones this season rushed for 1,046 yards and seven touchdowns. He brought his career total to 3,227 yards and was the focal point for Clemson’s season eight title. Jones will likely be one of the top picks in the Pro League draft next season.
