Great year statistically and as a senior leader to boot. Coming into the season he was probably the most unheralded of the three linebackers but in the end had the best year.

Now a great argument could be made for Darrell Stuckey as well. He was critical to some big games, namely Missouri and I would put all I have on this guy being the clear cut Captain and defensive leader in 2009.

I knew Stuckey would be a choice and I knew as soon as the poll came up I would pull the lever for Stuckey. But then I looked at Holt’s numbers (granted his amazing Insight Bowl numbers may have skewed things). Still, Stuckey was big in the early going and was a solid safety for most of the season. He came up huge in the Mizzou game and Hunter, he WAS pivotal in turning our season around.

There’s two ways to look at this. Who had the most impactful season on D? Stuckey. Who had the greater body of work? Holt. Using this line of thought, I ended up voting for Holt.

for Jake Laptad and Jake Sharp is some dude named Jake…

wonder if the guy that voted for Nade…er or I mean Jake Laptad wants his vote back.

I went with Stuckey but easily could’ve gone Holt

and the one vote for Laptad?? CO-MVP’s…doubtfull, still time to vote…

and a potential comeback to rival Frank Reich and the Bills over the Oilers

Darrell if you ever read this congrats for winning the RCT Readers Choice…your 5 inch pee wee football trophy stating as much is in the mail…if you don’t get it, I’d check with Jake Laptad…he might have stolen it.
