Most Underrated: Morse

Break out Year : Reisner

Don't be that guy and list three at each position.
 
Favorite: MMcN#7

Most Underrated: Greenwood

Break out Year: DJK (I think he's going to be one of the top 5 receivers in the nation this season)

MVP off: DJK -or- Hampton

MVP def: AC.

Sorry about breaking your rule and listing two picks for O-MVP. Pls don't hurt me or neg-rep me. :D
 
Favorite: Clayborn

Most Underrated: Hunter

Breakout Year Offense: Kennan Davis
Breakout Year Defense: Hyde--heard he could be one of the best we have had in a LONG time

MVP Offense: Stanzi

MVP Defense: Sash--I would say Clayborn but teams will double/triple team him so Sash will be making lots of big plays like last year (could also see Klug here)
 
Favorite: DJK (got to talk to him once, he's a great guy, LOTS of personality obviously)
Underrated: there's several guys here, hard to choose just one. But I'm going to go with A-Rob. He seems to get shortchanged even by our own fanbase.
Breakout Offense: Gonna go with Reisner here
Breakout Defense: Ballard
OMVP: Stanzi
DMVP: Sash (I love AC, but Sash is just, well, TMFS)
 
Favorite - Mike Daniels - love his blue collar work ethic and intensity, and watching video of him and seeing pics of him bench 140# dumbbells (are you f'ing kidding me?) just made me that much bigger a fan. (Yes, I may be developing a mancrush.)

Underrated - Hunter - w/o a doubt, in my mind. And I think his absence at OSU was never recognized nearly as much as it should've been, and this season he will destroy some people.

Breakout O - Big Zus. Just have a feeling (and really, really hope he plays well).

Breakout D - Nielsen - we've all heard about his athleticism and know he was a huge recruit, now it's time to show what he's got.

O MVP - Reiff - I'm looking at this is "who would it hurt to lose the most?" (And that interview where he gave all the short answers was AWESOME!)

D MVP - AC - he'll draw so much attention that everybody else on D will benefit, and hence the D overall will be better.

Wow, that's just spooky. Nearly every one of those guys was my #2 choice (everyone but Daniels), and several of the reasonings behind your choices were why they were so high in my mind (especially Nielsen and AC).

Appreciate your sentiments re the players I picked, but looking at yours, I can't disagree w/ any of your choices. Look at other people's choices - there really are a ton of players on this team that you have confidence in and want to succeed b/c they come across not only as potentially good/great football players, but pretty cool and good people. The reason Swingin' Dick Stanzi wears all those bracelets? - basically for kids w/ cancer. How can you not admire someone like that and hope that he succeeds in life? AC driving to Albia to meet w/ some kids in an elementary classroom? Awesome. It's people like that that make me appreciate IA even more, and in particular the Captain and the staff he surrounds himself w/, and recently the type of student athletes they recruit. It's corny and hokey, but I genuinely appreciate the blue collar work ethic and mentality of the players and coaches I cheer for, in particular being so far from that mindset.

I love Clayborn but I don't think he will be MVP if you judge by numbers. People will double team him all the time and run away from him.

^This^, other than I would choose Klug as most underrated.

I especially like your choice of breakout. He's the fastest guy on the team and will want to show his stuff after his knee injury last year.
