Interesting...is he coming back?

I voted for Owen Porter here. He's our glue guy rusher
..

But I can absolutely see TJ Jackson from Troy win it, as he's the glue guy rusher on a championship caliber team.

It's interesting. He's got a lot of counting stat tackles. But not a lot of TFL's...

What gives? Is he just a cover LB? Off ball only?

* He is #2 in the nation in total tackles (behind #1 Jason Henderson)
* Broke the NCAA career tackles record this season
* Burlsworth Trophy finalist

Owen Porter Marshall 9.5 sacks, 14 TFL

TJ Jackson Troy 8 sacks, 14.5 TFL

Jason Henderson Old Dominion 185 Tackles

The 1st link below shows Henderson with 164 tackles (not including today where he is credited with having 18) and is from The Football Database. That would give him 182 total tackles this season. It also shows Carlton Marshall with 106 tackles (not including today's game) and has him at the time tied for 12th nationally this season.

The 2nd link below shows Henderson with 186 tackles this season, includes today's game, and is from the ODU Sports web site.

The 3rd link below shows Carlton Martial with 112 tackles this season, appears to include today's game and is from the Troy Sports web page. To be near the top of the national list at all means he should be considered in this poll in my opinion.
