  • Harlon Hill Nominees

    Who are the front runners for this year? Matocha? Bagent?

    As the commissioner of the D2 fantasy league, I feel like I'm supremely qualified to share my thoughts here lololol.

    Anyway, this is who I think the finalists from each region will be. Not necessarily who I would pick:

    SR1
    QB Tyson Bagent
    WR Jarod Bowie

    SR2
    RB Jada Byers
    RB Emanuel Wilson

    SR3
    DE Caleb Murphy
    RB Toriano Clinton although I actually think it *should* be QB Gage Porter. Clinton advances based on name recognition. But I feel like playing QB and ranking second in D2 in rushing yards and first in touchdowns would warrant a finalist spot. If he were actually a running back, I think he'd win this award going away with just his rushing numbers. His playing QB at a decent level while putting up his rushing numbers is crazy.

    SR4
    QB Brandon Alt
    QB John Matocha

    I *think* the winner will be John Matocha. But if I personally were voting, I would do this for the finalists:

    RB Jada Byers
    RB Emanuel Wilson
    WR Jarod Bowie
    QB John Matocha
    QB Tyson Bagent
    DE Caleb Murphy
    RB Toriano Clinton
    QB Brandon Alt

    If Gage Porter were to be a regional finalist, I would vote for him to win the entire thing. But I don't think he'll even get out of the region.

      That does make you the most qualified person to comment. That's how the SID's treat it too. It's all about stats and name recognition.

        All of the players mentioned above are amazing...I would say that Abe Swanson should also be on this list. I do know that defensive players are usually overlooked but NFL scouts love the guy.

          Unfortunately only one player can be nominated from each school, and the SID picks who it is.

            Really appreciate the insight from a pro, KleShreen! Should be a fun race. I'm curious though, does Harlon Hill only count regular season or are playoff performances taken into account?

              Looks like the finalists were announced this morning. I’d be furious if anyone but Matocha wins it with how efficient he’s been this season. Who’s coming in second? Tyson Bagent? Jada Byers?

              Super Region One

              Tyson Bagent, QB, Shepherd

              Jared Bowie, WR, Concord

              Super Region Two

              Mario Anderson, RB, Newberry

              Jada Byers, RB, Virginia Union

              Super Region Three

              Caleb Murphy, DE, Ferris State

              TJ Davis, QB, Nebraska-Kearney

              TJ Cole, RB, Ouachita Baptist

              Super Region Four

              Brandon Alt, QB, Bemidji State

              John Matocha, QB, Colorado Mines

                Bagent will win it. You'd have to have a miraculous record breaking season to unseat him. Especially after he set the D2 career total offense record.

                  Brandon Alt, QB, Bemidji State

                  John Matocha, QB, Colorado Mines
                  Matocha- 4,038 yds, 41 tds, 6 ints. 69.4% completion, 342 yds rushing with 3 tds
                  Bagent- 4,184 yds, 37 tds, 6 ints, 71% completion, 116 yds rushing with 5 tds

                  Both played 13 games, both are in the regional finals. I'd say its pretty close for both. Passer rating favors Matocha (183.37 vs Bagent at 161.48). Perhaps this weekend settles it.

                  Caleb Murphy would be my vote with the 24.5 sacks. That is outrageous, and he's also got his team in the regional final.

                    Is the fact of being listed as a finalist a sign that Murphy has a chance? I’d vote for him too if I had a vote.

                      Either that or there just wasn't anyone in SR3 that put of mind numbing offensive stats. I'd love for Murphy to get it, but I have a hard time believing they'd give it to a defensive player. If he doesn't get it, I'd personally lean towards Matocha but think they'll give it to Bagent again.

                        Murphy would get my vote, too.

                        Ronald McKinnon is the only defensive player I know of, who won it.

                              Murphy has an all division sack record... it should get high consideration!

                              While all of those stats are similar between Matocha and Bagent, Matocha did his damage on 100 fewer passing attempts. I know that gets captured in efficiency - but go and look that he has 4 more TD's and only 145 fewer yards on 100 fewer attempts. That being said, I agree that his career record thresholds will carry weight for Bagent, but I also feel like (completely subjective and I recognize it) that voters giving a repeat award justifies both awards (last year and this year).

                              With all of that said, I expect Bagent to win. It will be no crime if he does, he has had a great season - individually and in leadership of his team.
