He was robbed!!! /s
Pretty good for a guy who was a borderline 2/3 star coming out of high school. Vance Vice is the real deal. Do us proud at the next level, Christian!
Serious question, does this mean he gets a banner in Lane or no? I forget what that criteria is
Weaver set the criteria as "Major National Award". Most equated that to being named a consensus all american, and that was true until Jimmy Williams- who still doesn't have a banner. So who knows. Love Darrisaw, but one 2nd team AA is not enough, IMO.
The consensus #1 pick in the upcoming NFL draft is the 3rd team QB here behind Trask. LOL.
All-American teams aren't earned on how high you project in the draft. Both Mac Jones and Trask have had better seasons in both raw stats and play by play, game by game efficiency stats, pick any stat and they are better. This is the deserved order. That isn't to say there aren't mistakes on these teams. Usually there are several less than deserving big names, or previous season career accolade spots given.
Trevor Lawrence started the last two seasons as the preseason Heisman favorite and ended each year with stats comparable to AJ McCarron.
All-America teams also aren't all about stats. This should be particularly true this year.
And he wasn't better than either of the guys ahead of him this year and played worse competition.
Circular argument because you're looking largely at the numbers.
Good thing bowl games don't count for Trask. And I wonder what Lawrence's numbers might look like with Smith.
I watched every game Mac and Trevor played. Most of Trask's. What is the actual case that Trevor was better? Can you make one?
Alabama with 8 players listed is crazy, 5 on 1st team offense. Good luck to any team trying to stop them
Greats news. With Teller flipping pancakes at a high level for the Browns, this can only help our O-line recruiting. Congrats to Darrisaw and to Coach Vice. Great work.
Awesome stuff, Christian! Best of luck in the league...
It always sucks to see recruiting misses on this list especially at positions where we have been thin. Looking at Alim McNeil at DT and JaQuan Bailey (pretty sure he was committed to us for a time) at DE.
Both UNC RBs...
Well deserved for sure, but our primary division rival is on the upswing in a major way.
Did they both announce they are going pro or was that another two UNC guys?
Dorian Strong was named to 247Sports' True Freshman All-American Team
Love this! Thanks for sharing -- definitely worthy of its own thread too btw
