Folarin Orimolade Dartmouth LB First impressions The Big Green had one of the Ivy Leagues best defensive players in the league. Explosive is my first impression of him. Guy’s a game changer. His impressive jump off the ball helped him earn the “Bushnell Award” which is given to the defensive player of the year, in […]
So, a couple of months back, I ran an article on Jackson State defensive end Keontre Anderson (http://factorysports.wpengine.com/fcs-spotlight-de-interview-keontre-anderson-jackson-state/). During my interview with him, he mentioned Javancy Jones (@TheRealJavJones) as the best player he had played alongside. So I decided to look into Jones a bit further.

Tyus Bowser: 6’3 244 pounds Games watched: Vanderbilt, Memphis, San Diego St. My Thoughts: This is another player I enjoyed watching. Not overly flashy, but a guy who just gets it done.
