Top Ten Best Returning Players 2018

[nodak651]

Off season is killing me and I don't know many names going into next year. This is best players, not necessarily who will be an All American. The difference is that some players have to share snaps or aren't in the best system to boost stats.

Only names I can really think of are maybe Santiago and maybe Easton Stick? NAU still have their stud QB? Let's see some names positions and school.

Dom Bragalone. HB 5'11 230. Lehigh
Brad Mayes. QB. 6'2 220. Lehigh

WR- Nathan Stewart and Davion Davis - SHSU

For NDSU, I'd put forward:

Easton Stick (QB)
Jabril Cox (LB)
Dillion Radunz (LT)
Ty Brooks (RB)

Those would be the guys who are difference makers but if I had to choose one, I'd Cox as I can see him being the next Buchanan winner for NDSU if he continues on his current trajectory.

[JMUNJ08]

JMU has a few (I will try not to list the whole team but will miss a few )
- Rashard Robinson (CB)
- Jimmy F'N Mooreland (CB)
- Cardon Johnson (RB)
- Riley Stapleton (WR)

For UCA: I think this will be a team that will have multiple players with average stats instead of a few players with BIG stats. New head coach Brown substitutes often but I think these players will have above average years.

DL- Cardell Best- 2016: 12 TFL, 32 tackles. (Injured so sat out 2017.) He just made a huge difference on pressure on the QB. Plus he's a leader on the team. That makes a big difference!
RB- Carlos Blackman- 2017: 770 yards, 9 TDs. (injured and limited play.) Lost some weight this year (20+ pounds) and now is primed to show out. I expect him to hit 1000 yards rushing if he can stay healthy.

WR- Nathan Stewart and Davion Davis - SHSU

Nathan Stewart was a gem find for the Kats. Dangerous and smart. Was hoping he was gone...

2017 Season

[ST_Lawson]

Western Illinois
RB - Steve McShane
QB - Sean McGuire
DL - Khalen Saunders

There's other names that are fairly big, but I'd bet those are the names from WIU that you'll see most often in the conference player of the week awards.
