MW Top 50 Players countdown

[DocRebel]

Fackrell is a beast on USU's defense. I anticipate he'll be 100% ready this season, and if he can stay healthy he'll likely be in the NFL next year.

#14. This returning MW sack leader is on the Nagurski, Bednarik and Lombardi watch lists, and he's only a junior.

[rebneck]

Devonte Boyd Top 5? I thought he might creep into the Top 10, but Top 5 shows the media thinks pretty highly of him.

 

[spudreb]

#5. Young Rebel checks in.

[RebelTomola]

Boyd is something special. If he has a few years like his freshman year he will be near the top of unlv record books

 

[spudreb]

#4. This Poke, and his peoples, hopes to make an impact in the MW this season.

[rebneck]

#3. His teammate may have been voted preseason DPOY, but this Aggie 'backer comes in at a higher rating.
http://www.mwcconnection.com/2015/8...st-players-no-3-is-nick-vigil-from-utah-state

 

[DocRebel]

Vigil is a true throwback football junkyard dog. That dude does it on both sides of the ball.

 

[spudreb]

#2. Really thought this guy would be #1. Now I'm drawing a blank on who it could be.

Gotta be Pumphrey from SDSU, yes?

 

[spudreb]

#1. Well, of course it is.

[DocRebel]

Two Vegas kids are in the top 5.

Pretty cool. Was Pumphrey a Las Vegas transplant or was he born and raised? I don't know his story.

 

[DocRebel]

Pumphrey is a Vegas native and played at Canyon Springs HS, though I think he spent some time living in San Diego also. Devonte Boyd originally lived in Louisiana but was a Hurricane Katrina victim at age 9 and relocated to Henderson, NV where he played his career at Basic HS.

 

[willlevi]

#19 Jacobi Owens is also a local out of Centennial. He had over 1000 yards in 10 game as a sophomore at Air Force last season. He a born and raised, he's also a family member for me.

 

[bcvegaspt]

Congrats, Will, on him being named. Also, I hope he ends up playing above his ranking in the conference.
