We did the offense yesterday, now for the defensive HP preseason All-Americans.  The season is nigh, so no commentary, just the list, fast and quick: Defensive Tackle First Team: Jared Crick, Nebraska; Jurrell Casey, USC Second Team: Jurrelle Powe, Ole Miss; Stephen Paea, Oregon State Third Team: Jarvis Jenkins, Clemson; Drake Nevis, LSU Honorable Mention: [...]

With the season upon us, it’s time for me to reveal the the 2010 edition of the very prestigious HP All-American team. First, the offense: Quarterback 1st team: Ryan Mallett, Arkansas   2nd team: Kellen Moore, Boise State  3rd team: Case Keenum, Houston Honorable Mention: Terrelle Pryor, Jake Locker, Christian Ponder, Jacory Harris, Andy Dalton, Jerrod Johnson, [...]

We did the offense on Tuesday, now for the All-American defensive squad: Defensive End 1st team–Jerry Hughes, TCU; Brandon Graham, Michigan 2nd team–O’Brien Schofield, Wisconsin; Derrick Morgan, Georgia Tech 3rd team–Jeremy Beal, Oklahoma; Sergio Kindle, Texas Notes: Hughes has been a terror off the edge for going on three years and he capped a fine career [...]

Now for the sixth edition of the very prestigious HP All-American squad.  First, the offense: Quarterback 1st team–Case Keenum, Houston 2nd team–Jimmy Clausen, Notre Dame 3rd team–Colt McCoy, Texas Note: Obviously a very difficult decision on this one, but I think Keenum’s overall numbers–5,410 yards, 43 touchdowns, 9 picks, 71% completion percentage–are too amazing to ignore.  [...]

Based on what I’ve seen so far… QB–Jimmy Clausen, Notre Dame 2nd team–Case Keenum, Houston 3rd team–Tony Pike, Cincinnati RB–Jacquizz Rodgers, Oregon State 2nd team–Toby Gerhart, Stanford 3rd team–Noel Devine, West Virginia FB–Vince Murray, Navy 2nd team–Owen Marecic, Stanford 3rd team–Stanley Havili, USC TE–Kyle Rudolph, Notre Dame 2nd team–Dennis Pitta, BYU 3rd team–Anthony McCoy, USC [...]

We did the offense last week, now the defense: *=returning HP All-American Ends Carlos Dunlap, Florida–A physical specimen with a pterodactyl-like wing span.  At 6-6, 290, he’s a prototype end with a great first-step.  Will be a top 10 pick in the NFL draft. Sergio Kindle, Texas–Also could be rated at linebacker, but we put [...]

Quarterback Colt McCoy, Texas–With so many great quarterbacks returning in 2009, this wasn’t an easy choice.  But McCoy is coming off a record-setting season where he completed 77 percent of his passes and was just a last-second Texas Tech upset away from clinching the Heisman and a berth in the national title game.  I think it’s time [...]

It’s time for the fifth edition of the very prestigious HP All-American squad.  First, the offense: Quarterback 1st team–Colt McCoy, Texas 2nd team–Sam Bradford, Oklahoma 3rd team–Tim Tebow, Florida This was a very tough choice, obviously.  But I thought McCoy was the best all-around quarterback in 2008 Running Back 1st team–Kendall Hunter, Oklahoma State 2nd [...]

Yesterday, we unveiled the All-American offensive squad, now here are the defenders: Defensive End 1st Team–Everson Griffen, USC; Greg Middleton, Indiana Middleton was a 2007 HP All-American and should have another great year. Griffen is a physical phenom who is ready to explode on the college scene. 2nd Team–Greg Hardy, Ole Miss; George Selvie, USF [...]
