Who is going to keep the OSU All-America streak going?



Since 2000 Oregon State has produced at least one All-American, either first team or second team. Given the performance of OSU's defense this year, you would expect the streak to continue....or will it?

BTW- Academic All-American's don't count in my opinion. Yeah it's great, but it has little to do with football skills. At OBFB we only care about on field performances when evaluating All-American qualifications.

As I mentioned before, this may be the best defense ever fielded by the Beav's. But will it produce a USC style list of All-Americans? I doubt it.

OSU's defense is highly productive across the board, but with all the rotations it's hard for one player to rack up the stats to make the All-America squad. OSU hasn't had an All-American on defense Mitch Meeuwsenin 2004. See the list below.

2000 -
Ken Simonton - TB
DeLawrence Grant - DE
Chris Gibson - C
Richard Seigler - LB

2001-
Dennis Weathersby - CB
Mitch Meeuwsen - S

2002-
Dennis Weathersby - CB
Steven Jackson - TB

2003-
Steven Jackson - TB
Brandon Browner - CB

2004-
Mitch Meeuwsen - FS
Mike Hass - WR

2005-
Mike Hass - WR
Alexis Serna - PK
Jeremy Perry - OT

2006-

Who will be this year's All-American's for OSU?

Doggett?
LaRoque?
Darlin?
Serna?

Bernard?
