* player who most strains his potential
A couple of things to note. First, Aaron Davis as the defensive Outstanding Walk-On should surprise no one. He looks to be in a position to compete for a starting job. Given his back story, if he stays healthy, it wouldn't surprise me to see him win it. Ramik winning defensive MVP surprised me a bit, as he seemed to be having a quiet spring. Good to see him leading the D.
Second, David Andrews as offensive MVP? Wow. That's great. Same goes for Greg Pyke being most improved. It seemed for a long time the Baltimore, MD product was going to languish as a third option off the bench for his career. Now he looks to start against Clemson.
