2024 Greg Jennings Awards

[tsweezy]

For the guys who put da team on their back this year, we salute you.

 

RB Trumaine Wulf - Junior - Jackson State

Trumaine made his FBS debut this year and was really one of the only good parts to this team. He recorded 77 Percent of his teams touchdowns, by far the highest in the country! For the sake of this post, we will put in smaller letters that this was made up of 10 of their 13 total TDs. His 1100 scrimmage yards only made up 36% of their offensive yardage, but that nose for the endzone lands him his spot here.

 

DE Ethan Diaz - Senior - Colorado

Ethan was the most dominant player on this pretty solid defense. A run stopper he led the team in most categories. Dude recorded 58 percent of his teams TFLs(!) and 16% of the total tackles. That's 86 tackles (3rd most by a DE), 38 TFLs (most in the country!), and 13 sacks (plus a safety!). Singlehanded wrecking crew on that DL. 

 

WR Ryan Lydon - Senior - Charlotte

By far the highest WR for this metric, Ryan surprised everyone by catching 16 of his teams total 29 TDs, very nutty. He also recorded 40% of their offensive yardage and was the number 1 PR and KR on the team.

 

RB Vontae Knebel - Senior - Stanford

Vontae is a well-recognized monster who has the career NCAA rushing yardage record. Let this be another award for the man who could score with a broken leg. He led the nation by recording 53% of his teams yardage, and was second with 63% of his teams TDs. Love the dude, and the ACC is so lucky he's graduating. 

 

2-star addendum. 

A little shout-out to the under-recruited dude who showed up.

 

RB Leon III Chapman - RS Senior - Ball State - 2-star

Ok first off, what a trail blazer having the third for his first name instead of second. Not sure what that's about but shout out for getting 38% of his teams TDs and 28% of their scrimmage yards. For a user team as well, so dope.

 

FCS addendum

I don't consider the FCS real people but here we go:

 

RB Peyton Crosby - Senior - Wofford

56% of their yards, 72% of their TDs. Anyways that was 5 touchdowns because SOMEHOW Wofford is DOODOO on offense and only scored 7 offensive touchdowns all season (seriously how is that possible). So uh, low bar but good work I guess.

Love this idea! Great stuff.
