Chubb & Samuels Make SI’s Midseason All-American Team

Published

You might be getting bored with NC State’s Bradley Chubb and Jaylen Samuels making Midseason All-American list after list. This week they also made Sports Illustrated’s Midseason All-American Team. Chubb was the only unanimous selection on Defense, and no joke, JaySam made the 1st and 2nd Team on Offense. Maybe they think he is as good as two people. If that’s what they are getting at, I’m in agreement.

1st Team Offense
QB: BAKER MAYFIELD, OKLAHOMA
RB: BRYCE LOVE, STANFORD*
RB: SAQUON BARKLEY, PENN STATE
WR: DAVID SILLS V, WEST VIRGINIA
WR: JAMES WASHINGTON, OKLAHOMA STATE
TE: MIKE GESICKI, PENN STATE
OT: MIKE MCGLINCHEY, NOTRE DAME
G: BRADEN SMITH, AUBURN
C: BRADLEY BOZEMAN, ALABAMA
G: QUENTON NELSON, NOTRE DAME
OT: ORLANDO BROWN, OKLAHOMA

1st Team Defense
DL: BRADLEY CHUBB, NC STATE*
The Wolfpack’s ACC hopes rest on Chubb and the rest of their talented, tenacious defensive line. Chubb sits tied for sixth nationally with 6.5 sacks, and his 14 tackles for loss are second only to Northern Illinois’s Sutton Smith.
DL: AUSTIN BRYANT, CLEMSON
DL: HERCULES MATA’AFA, WASHINGTON STATE
LB: ROQUAN SMITH, GEORGIA
LB: JOSEY JEWELL, IOWA
LB: DEVIN BUSH, MICHIGAN
LB: OGBONNIA OKORONKWO, OKLAHOMA
CB: CARLTON DAVIS, AUBURN
CB: JALEN DAVIS, UTAH STATE
S: MINKAH FITZPATRICK, ALABAMA
S: DESHON ELLIOTT, TEXAS
K: MATT GAY, UTAH
P: JOHNNY TOWNSEND, FLORIDA
ALL-PURPOSE: JAYLEN SAMUELS, NC STATE
You’ll notice that Samuels made SI’s second-team offense as a tight end, but his contributions to the Wolfpack’s unconventional offense can’t be described with just one position. The senior has 10 total touchdowns already (three receiving, seven rushing) and accounts for nearly a third of his team’s receptions so far.
RETURN MAN: DANTE PETTIS, WASHINGTON

SECOND-TEAM OFFENSE
QB: Luke Falk, Washington State
RB: Josh Adams, Notre Dame
RB: Rashaad Penny, San Diego State
WR: Cam Phillips, Virginia Tech
WR: Anthony Miller, Memphis
TE: Jaylen Samuels, NC State
OT: David Edwards, Wisconsin
OT: Mitch Hyatt, Clemson
G: Cody O’Connell, Washington State
G: Will Hernandez, UTEP
C: Frank Ragnow, Arkansas

SECOND-TEAM DEFENSE
DL: Nick Bosa, Ohio State
DL: Ed Oliver, Houston
DL: Da’Ron Payne, Alabama
LB: Dorian O’Daniel, Clemson
LB: Micah Kiser, Virginia
LB: Joe Dineen Jr., Kansas
LB: Josh Allen, Kentucky
CB: Levi Wallace, Alabama
CB: Josiah Scott, Michigan State
S: Derwin James, Florida State
S: Quin Blanding, Virginia.

NC State Offers FCS DT Brandon Lane

NC State offered Stephen F. Austin (FCS) Transfer Defensive Tackle Brandon Lane (6’3″/300) yesterday.

Lane started in 6 of the 11 games he played in for Stephen F. Austin this past season. He finished the year with 44 tackles, 6.5 tackles for loss and 1.5 sacks. His PFF Grade was 74.6, which ranked 4th on the Lumberjacks Defense. His 79.9 Run Defense Grade ranked 3rd on the team. In 2022, Lane played 7 games as a reserve for Stephen F. Austin, recording 11 tackles 2.5 tackles for loss and 1 sack.

Lane spent his first two collegiate seasons at South Dakota State (2000-21). In 2000, he played in 1 game. In 2021, he played in 3 games as a reserve for the Jackrabbits. The 2000 season was the Covid Year, and the 2021 season was his redshirt year. As a result, Lane still has two years of eligibility remaining.

Around a week-and-a-half ago, Lane committed to Michigan St., but then he decommitted from the Spartans on May 2nd.

I don’t think Michigan St. is necessarily off the table, and he has visited Washington and West Virginia.
