FBS DuvALUMNI All Stars
With over 100 area players playing at FBS schools and 100+ more playing at FCS schools, we thought we'd break up the divisions and reward all-stars for each level this year. The FCS schools will come later this week.
QB- Jake Medlock - FIU The Fletcher grad has a 102 passing efficiency as the starter for FIU. After two duvALUMNI QBs graduated last year (Kawaun Jakes, Ryan Aplin) Medlock is now the lone starting QB from the area playing at an FBS school.
RB - An injury and a withdrawal from school has left this position wide open. Tahj Kimble (Fernandina) was expected to get more carries for Boston College, but is coming off of surgery and has yet to carry the ball for the Eagles. Andrew Buie (Trinity) who led West Virginia in rushing in 2012 has withdrawn from the school. No news on where he may end up. So, no starters at RB from the area, we'll give it to Daron White (First Coast), who has carried a few times for Troy. All-Everything Derrick Henry (Yulee) will soon make the list, but so far he has one carry for minus three yards for Alabama.
WR - Javontee Herndon (Bolles) is Arkansas' leading receiver this year, as is Ryan Lankford (Paxon) for Illinois. Sean Tapley (Raines) has six catches for North Carolina.
TE - Bobby Wolford (Kenny) Wolford excelled at Linebacker at Kenny, but switching to tight end at Wake Forest has already paid off. He has seven receptions and a touchdown so far for the Eagles.
OL - Some big hosses load up the offensive line; all of these starters: Brett Benedict (Bolles) for Virginia Tech; John Theus (Bolles) Georgia; Laremy Tunsil (Lake City) for Ole Miss; Frank Souza (Nease) Wake Forest; Kaleb Johnson (White) Rutgers; Christopher Chappell (W Nassau) FAU.
K - Cairo Santos (St Joseph) won the Groza Award for best kicker last year at Tulane and he's back for more.
DL - Timmy Jernigan (Lake City) has been impressive in Florida State's two games. Louis Nix (Raines) is the returning All American at Notre Dame. Tavaris Barnes (First Coast) has played well in his limited time at Clemson; DeMarcus Walker has received ample playing time as a true freshman at FSU.
LB - Season-ending injuries will keep Shakeel Rashad (Episcopal/UNC) out this year. Terrence Plummer (Orange Park) is starting for UCF; Isaiah Bruce (Providence) returns as a starter for West Virginia. Tony Steward (Menendez) has seen some action at Clemson
DB - Sam Smiley (Raines/UNC) is lost to season-ending injury. Jared Singletary (Clay) starts for Middle Tennessee; Dwayne Norman (University) starts for Duke; Ahmad Christian (Trinity) has double-digit tackles for South Carolina; Lynn Griffin (Providence) has played at Georgia Tech.
