2015 Defensive players

Safety Jordan Simone was the Nations Leading Tackler per game in CFB...sorry to see his college career end that way...he should still get a shot in the NFL...he has a nose for the ball much like Pat Tillman!

Difference-makers Ott & Gostis should be taken in the NFL Draft as well...

Some SEC Linebackers are having some solid seasons so far...Richie Brown (Miss St); Jake Ganus (Georgia) & Brooks Ellis (Arkansas)...they could be among that list of leaders in the other post too.
 
if you didn't catch any of the contest between Kent State and Central Michigan, you missed a pretty good ball game with a lot of talented White athletes making plays. the purpose of this post, though, is to specifically point out the defense of Kent State.

the Golden Flashes have a pathetic offense, and that might be giving them too much credit. however, their defense is superb ... and they did everything they could to give Kent State a chance to win.

perhaps "surprising" with such a strong defensive unit is the fact that the majority of their best players are blue collar, overachieving, hustlers with deceptive speed. in fact, in the CMU game, the top 6 tacklers for Kent State were White men:

- free safety Nate Holley had a game-high 15 total tackles (and a game-high 9 solo) and 1 pbu
- safety Nick Cuthbert had 9 total tackles (6 solo)
- linebacker Matt Dellinger had 9 total tackles (4 solo) and 1.5 tackles-for-loss
- strong safety Jordan Italiano had 8 total tackles (4 solo) and 1 tackle-for-loss
- defensive end Nate Terhune had 7 total tackles, 1.5 sacks, and 1.5 tackles-for-loss
- defensive tackle Chris Fairchild had 5 total tackles

and speaking of the "deceptive" athleticism this unit possesses, check out this highlight from the Ohio game where the 6-foot-4, 270-pound Terhune took a fake punt, ran 62 yards and hurdled an opponent en route to scoring a touchdown. i "wonder" if he's a dynamic athlete ...
 
LB Jake Ganus had 10 tackles (1 TFL) for thUGA on Saturday. He leads the BlackDawgs at tackles (84)...solo (33) & assists (51). For the season, he also has 2 interceptions, 3 deflected passes & a fumble recovery. I'm hoping he has strong games against GaTech & in the bowl. Ganus has good size at 6'2, 235 but doesn't have blazing speed (4.7, 40 y/d). Let's also hope he gets an invite to the combine & puts up good numbers there.
 
I am going to steal some of DD's thunder and provide an update on Jake Ganus in his last regular season game for UGA:

Ganus had 12 total tackles (8 solo/4 assisted) and 1 TFL against the Ga Tech triple option attack. Looking forward to seeing him at the next level. I hope he gets a senior bowl invite.

His final regular season stats at UGA are:

96 total tackles (41 solo/55 assisted), 4.5 tfl, 1 sack and 2 ints. Not too shabby for an ILB. He has been an uber productive LB during his collective career at UGA/UAB and should be playing on Sundays.
 
Notioriously anti-white Pro Football Focus had some good things to say about some white defensive players not playing in a power 5 conference. Take it for what it's worth but it's always good to see our guys get positive press.



Kyler Fackrell, Utah State +39.7
Fackrell is one of the most truly versatile edge defenders in the nation. He has been equally dominant in both rushing the passer and stopping the run, while also flashing ability in coverage. His best game came against Boise State in Week 7, where he recorded one quarterback hit, four hurries and six total defensive stops. In addition, he tackled the receiver for a loss on the only reception he allowed in that game.
Key stat: Fackrell’s Pass Rushing Productivity rating of 15.0 is sixth among 3-4 outside linebackers in the nation as he recorded 33 total pressures on 168 pass rush snaps.




Calvin Munson, San Diego State +32.7
Munson was one of the most exceptionally versatile linebackers in college football. He ranks among the best 25 linebackers in the nation in rushing the passer, coverage and run defense as well. He did, however, have a brief slump in Weeks 2 and 3, he graded out above +1.0 in 8 of his last 10 games. He recorded three sacks, two hits and two hurries in Week 7 against San Jose State.
Key stat: He allowed a passer rating of 42.7, the second lowest in the nation among linebackers who were targeted at least 20 times.
Tyler Gray, Boise State +27.3
It says a lot about Gray’s season that he was our 12th highest-graded linebacker in the nation despite playing fewer snaps than anyone else in the top 35. Although he played only a limited role on the Boise State defense, Gray did not have a single negatively graded game in 2015. Furthermore, he earned his highest grade in Week 3 against Idaho State when he played only 29 snaps of the possible 94.
Key stat: Gray has the best tackling efficiency among 4-3 outside linebackers in the entire nation as he did not miss a single tackle on 388 snaps.



Nate Holley, Kent State +22.7
Next to Alozie, we have a true run stopper, as Holley earned the second-highest run defense grade among safeties in the entire nation. Holley was one of the more consistent safeties in college football, grading out above +1.0 in 9 of his 12 games. Despite being a safety, Holley led the Kent State defense in defensive stops with 36.
Key stat: Holley recorded a stop on 7.4 percent of his run snaps, the eighth-best ratio among safeties in college football.

The inside linebacker, who led Georgia in tackles this season with 96, was named Georgia’s Vince Dooley Most Valuable Player at its annual team gala Saturday night.

Ganus came to Georgia after three standout years at UAB. When UAB announced it was closing the football program, Ganus was left without a program. He transferred to Georgia, where it was initially thought he could contribute as a special teams player and provide depth at the position.

Ganus ended up starting every game this season and doing much more than anyone thought this season.


Ha! Wow...shows just how deeply-ingrained the Kosher brainwashing of Whites in Amerika truly is...
