Rising also has quite a few rushing yards and rushing touchdowns. He is the most complete Offensive POY candidate and did it less games.
If Lloyd doesn’t win the award it just shows how basic this conference is:
Utah linebacker Devin Lloyd: His 22 tackles for loss are second in the country, and his 99 tackles were third-most in the conference. Plus he had three interceptions, one of which he returned for a touchdown, six pass breakups and two quarterback hurries to go along with his eight sacks. Plus he always seemed to come up with a big play when it was needed most. And I like the fact that he was the lowest-rated prospect of the Utes’ 20-player 2017 recruiting class.
