2018 Mr All Turk: Paddy Fisher
He is the "Super Glue" of our defense.
Mr 12th Man award: Chris Bergin. Big shoes to fill but stepped up in the gap when needed. Interesting play.
Mr All Turk Most Improved Player: Cam Ruiz. Not sure if he just wasn't prepared or what but his level of play went from disappointing to who the hell is this guy? A bright future.
Mr All Turk Surprising Player of the Year: Bowser. Man, did we need him.
Coaching Move of the Year: Fitz making the switch to Bowser after about the 6th game. Thank the NCAA for its new redshirt rules.
Top 20 Rated Players
1. Montre Hartage- Best player on defense. I suspect that he will be 'man up' against OSU. Could improve his NFL stock on Saturday as he has the toughest assignment. I think he is up for it. Obvious First Team All Big Ten. Hope his hammy is 100%
2. Paddy Fisher- Run stopper. Takes on Offensive Lineman and sheds them. Hips always seem to be moving even when taking on blockers.
3. Nate Hall - Maybe the most talented football player we have (smarts + athletic ability).
4. Blake Gallagher - A lot of TV time. Seems like he is always around the ball.
5. Joe Gazilla Gaziano - Picked up where Lowry left off.
6. Tommy Doles: Turned in a really nice year. I give him a slight nod over Slater for best OL of the year.
7. Rashawn Slater. Could end up the best OT that we have had since Strief.
8. Clayton Thorson- First QB that I have seen here that can make every throw. OSU will remember his name.
9. Isaiah Bowser - Would be much higher if he played more than half the season. A strong back who will someday be first team all big ten. In the meantime, he wants to settle something with his in-state school this Saturday.
10a. Fred Wyatt - Paddy loves this teammate. Improved as the year went on.
10b Jordan Thompson - Great against the run.
12. Samdup "Don't shoot" MIller - Mr Consistency.
13. Flynn Nagel - Best wide out on the team.
14. J.R. Pace - Just keeps getting better and better. Wouldn't be surprised if he makes the top 7 or 8 after our Rose Bowl victory.
15. Cam Green - Always a mismatch against a LB and safety.
16. Travis Whillock - may not even start on Saturday but he is our best most solid safety. Extremely impressive.
17. Ben Skowronek - Just throw it deep and let him go up and get it. Dude always climbs to the highest point.
18. Jared McGee - Sure tackler. Haven't seen one single arm tackle from him. Great against the run.
19. Earnest Brown - may be the most popular name in 2 years. A bit more weight to add with his quicks and he may rewrite the position for us.
20. Trae Williams- decent season.
