Good: Lance Robinson, CB
Somehow, the Green Wave’s cornerback with three interceptions lands first here. Lance Robinson has been terrific this season and pairing next to Jarius Monroe on the opposite side and Kam Pedescleaux in the slot, this is a tricky secondary to throw on.
Great: Darius Hodges/Keith Cooper Jr., EDGE
These two edge rushers you might as well call just plain defensive linemen as they can line up anywhere and win.
Darius Hodges has 2.5 sacks and Keith Cooper Jr. 2.0, while Cooper has batted two passes down at the line of scrimmage and Hodges has sent running backs flying in the run game.
Grand: Patrick Jenkins/Kameron Hamilton, DT
Ripping through the middle of the field, Patrick Jenkins has been an unstoppable force this year. Pairing together with Kameron Hamilton, this duo has recorded 6.5 sacks and two forced fumbles.
Jenkins has turned a ton of heads and continues to command double teams.
Wonderful: Michael Pratt, QB
The elite QB of the Group of Five, Michael Pratt wasted no time in dispatching South Alabama in Week 1. Though he missed two games, Pratt returned in Week 4, and we’re ready to say he hasn’t missed a beat.
Pratt’s averaging 12.7 yards per attempt and has thrown six touchdowns in two starts.
