I’ll often put it in the position previews and usually state which players I think are primed for it after the spring game. I think the most likely candidates this year regardless of class are:
QB - Ben Finley
WR - Alex Adams (2022 1st Team)
WR - Adrian Norton
TE - Jacob Newell
OL - Laurance Seymore
OL - Da’Quan Thomas
DE - CJ Nunnally (2023 1st Team)
LB - Bryan McCoy (2023 3rd Team)
LB - Antavious Fish
NB - Darrian Lewis
S - Paul Lewis
That said, we’d probably have to come close to winning the conference to get that many. Jones and Fish were deserving last year, but no way we were going to get them all with the few wins we had. It’s also about time for this offense to feed the RBs more. Even if that’s the case, if we are splitting touches between Simmons and Kellom, I’m not sure either one would have enough stats to make an All-MAC team. I’d also like to say Blanchard, but injuries are a concern. One of the DTs may also make it. Marcus Moore has the highest upside, although Lavea and Kapongo will probably get the most snaps in 2024.
