Now…how about an All-America Team based solely on the most important, and, the most easily understood criteria….STATS.
The staff and contributors of Fantasy College Blitz have compiled…and now reveal….the 2009 Fantasy College Blitz – Fantasy All-America Team.
Also, our All-America Team is loaded with Texans. The Lone Star state is well-represented with five players from four different Texas universities….and six (counting Defense/Special Teams) that played their prep football in Texas.
Another thing Texas can claim to be “big” about: Fantasy production from its college football players.
Since we have given you some hints already on who made the FCB Fantasy All-America Team….continue on to see our honorees… Read the rest of this entry →
The nation really did not get to see much of our Big XII Fantasy Player of the Year until a Thanksgiving night matchup against Texas….where our honoree went head-to-head with Texas QB Colt McCoy…and fared quite well
That player, Texas A&M QB Jerrod Johnson, had a number of other great games during the season….which earned him our 2009 Fantasy College Blitz – Big XII Fantasy Player of the Year.
Johnson (photo, thanks, GoAggies.com), a junior from Humble, TX (Humble HS), lit up opponents for over 2800 yards passing and 24 passing TDs…while rushing for nearly 600 yards and 8 TDs (stats quoted are through November 21st games).
With a number of receivers using up their eligibility after the 2008 season, a few experts were not sure that Penn State would put up big numbers at the QB position in 2009.
Well….they were wrong….
Penn State QB Daryll Clark ended up having a big season….big enough to win the 2009 Fantasy College Blitz – Big Ten Fantasy Player of the Year honor.
Clark (photo, thanks SportsIllustrated.com), a senior from Youngstown, OH (Ursuline HS), led the Nittany Lions with nearly 2800 yards passing, 23 passing TDs, and rushed for 7 additional TDs (stats quoted are through November 21st games).
Penn State finished the 2009 season at 10-2 and earned a trip to the CapitalOne Bowl in Orlando on New Years Day.
Most are familiar with the story of Arkansas QB Ryan Mallett, our Fantasy CollegeBlitz – SEC Fantasy Player of the Year….how he started out at Michigan (starting some games as a true freshman), and left the program after a coaching change in Ann Arbor that contrasted to the style of play Mallett was familiar with.
Fortunately, another school was in the process of a coaching change….bringing in a coach (Bobby Petrino) with an offense suited to Mallett’s ability and talent.
Woooo Pig Soooie….a new Arkansas Razorback legend was born.
Mallett (photo, thanks IconSMI), a sophomore from Texarkana, TX (Texas HS), won our SEC FPOY honor by throwing for nearly 3200 yards and 28 TDs….also adding 2 rushing TDs (stats quoted are through November 21st games).
He plays oufielder for a perennial nationally-ranked baseball program….he rushed for the most yards in California high school football history….he took 21 credit hours of classes this fall semester….he darn near won the HeismanTrophy….
That “he” is Stanford running back Toby Gerhart….who also is our Fantasy College Blitz – Pac 10 Fantasy Player of the Year….repeating the same honor from last season (FCB 2008 Pac 10 Fantasy Player of the Year).
Gerhart (photo, thanks SportsIllustrated.com), a senior from Norco, CA (Norco HS) led the Cardinal with over 1500 yards rushing and 23 rushing TDs (stats quoted are through November 21st games). Gerhart, who also had nearly 200 yards receiving, was the top fantasy running back, nationally, in 2009.
You have seen all the other All-America teams….

Michigan’s loss was surely Arkansas’ gain….
