Caden Sterns and Kris Boyd both semifinalists for the Thorpe Award

Featured Replies

I hope sterns wins it 3 years in a row.  

I forgive ET not winning it because Eric Berry is a fucking baller and an exemplar of a human being, but Thomas was the best DB in the country that season. 

Let's bring this award back to DBU. 

Jones was better than Boyd. But then again, Hill was better than Elliott last year so they never get this shit right.

They didn’t want Texas to win it 3 out 5 years tbh. Earl was far and away the best DB in the nation

Brandon Jones might be one of the best box safeties in the country and his coverage/ball skills have improved. I think he got snubbed.

game threads don't like Boyd 

Maybe Devante Davis is doin his job and they got to pick on somebody. I like how he keeps playing and doesn't give up after getting burned. Just got to KEEP PLAYING HARD and good things will happen. Sure, bad shit happens, nobody is perfect, but the way the team all keeps their head up and focused is awesome.

Boyd has the NFL body and will do well is speed & agility tests.  It's his technique that keeps him burned as we all see on gameday.  People say he's targeted due to covering the best WR but he covers a variety of WRs and still targeted.

What I'm saying is he's targeted because they don't want to target Devante Davis. Id be curious to see what the target distribution is to both guys.

Maybe Boyd should be playing more of a Locke role, but there isn't anybody to replace Boyd out there on an island.

Making the Thorpe award shortlist and then immediately showing up late to practice and getting suspended for a quarter is just peak KBoyd.

i guess Davis should be on that list not Boyd since everyone is scared of Davis.  Weird, these lists are not too meaningful.

I assume this is Greedy Williams' award this year, no? I could see Sterns being the lead candidate for it going into 2019 though.

Opposing teams are most definitely not afraid to throw at Devante Davis. Boyd has his warts, but he’s a pretty damn good college corner and will likely be drafted in the late first/second round next year.

^In 2019 or 2020, I could see a Surtain someone possibly winning the award. Kid is playing well above a true freshman level, for a starting corner.

That was meant in response to ctj, damned cock got between us.
