2017 Mountie Awards Watchlist
It’s that time of the year to release our 3rd Annual Preseason DVN Mountie Award Watchlist.
The nominees were voted on by Chris Hall and I and we will be releasing polls on Twitter and Facebook to see who you think will win the award at season’s end. Now let’s take a close look at the awards, the nominees and our projected winners.
Breakout Player of the Year
Center, Matt Jones, r-So.
DB, Toyous Avery, r-Jr.
DB, Elijah Battle, Sr
WR, Ka’Raun White, r-Sr
Schuyler: Judging breakout players is a tough task, but I really love what I saw from Elijah Battle last year in the limited playing time he received. I believe he can fill the hole left by Rasul Douglas and be a lockdown defender. All four of these guys will have great years, but Battle really stands out to me, love the kids length.
Chris: Ka’Ruan White – We’ve seen flashes on how great he can be and with a new quarterback, I expect big things from Ka’Raun.
