Harlon Hill Nominees

[Brandon]

Everyone knows its Woodhead's to lose. But, were they to give it to someone else, I'm voting for Volk. Because, defense.

Anyone know when a defensive player last wont the Harlon Hill Trophy? Not a trick question, I honestly don't know. But, and I follow D2 ball; there hasn't been anyone this year who has done more to get his team where they are than Mr. Volk. I hope he gets what he rightfully earned.

Oh, and we will need the new QB to step up tomorrow, I'm confident this young man has the tools to do so......And, the defense needs to keep up what its been doing.

My Christmas wish this year is a win tomorrow..

GO CATS!

To answer your question, 1995.

I am not sure why, but like the Heisman, they don't pick defensive players to win.

Oddly enough, only ONE purely defensive player ever won a Heisman. Charles Woodson in '97.

What helped his cause is he also was a productive player on offense.

May he rest in peace.

I think he won 3 times. No?

He did win 3 straight years.

You're right. I forgot he started playing a little WR his Sophmore year and would be in 8-10 plays a game on offense.

So, there has NEVER been a defense only Heisman winner!

Thanks.

Two from the LSC:

Brandon Alt	QB	Bemidji State
Shen Butler-Lawson	RB	Minnesota State
Chance Fuller	QB	CSU Pueblo
Kenny Hrncir	QB	UT Permian Basin
John Matocha	QB	Colorado Mines
Ben Noland	WR	South Dakota Mines
Clay Schueffner	LB	Winona State
Jack Strand	QB	Minnesota Moorhead
Tanner Volk	S	Central Washington
Kyle Walljasper	QB	Minnesota Duluth

It's probably Matocha's award to lose, but nice to see Volk honored. He's had a great year.

Wow, half from MN teams, my home state and better known for being the ‘State of Hockey’. Although a couple hoops stars have recently been produced as well in Chet Holmgren and Jalen Suggs.

Those were only region 4 btw.

Yep. I think there are really only 2 players head to head for it and the rest are just honorable mentions.

Guess who got a Heisman vote!
