For the second straight season Illinois States Boomer Grigsby has been tabbed as IAA.orgs Defensive Player of the Year to headline the 40-man all-star team selected by I-AA.org, the worldwide leader in I-AA news distribution.
Grigsby, the only three-time defensive player of the year in conference history, capped off his storied career with the NCAA, Gateway and Illinois State career tackle records with 580 stops. He has received all-America honors from the American Football Coaches Association, Associated Press, CollegeSportsReport.com, The Sports Network and the Walter Camp Foundation.
Only six players, including defensive player of the year Grigsby have been repeat selections on the all-star squad. The I-AA.org All-Star squad puts a premium not only on performance, but also on excellence in the classroom, character off the field and other intangibles.
