Breakout player of 2011

[#1BISONFAN ASHLEY]

Matt Voitlander, such an unselfish player.

Not necessarily my pick, but he hasn't been mentioned: Ryan Jastram. He was great this season with long kickoffs and who could forget the field goal against JMU.

Another player that never gets recognized, but should: Michael Murphy. He came in here last year and I can't imagine the stress on a true freshmen long snapper. This year he did great and we never heard his name (truly, we never should).

I would have to say for me it was a tie between Jensen and Jirik.

[GRAFTONBISON]

Matt Voitlander, such an unselfish player.

I would also put his name in the conversation. See SIU and SHSU games off the top of my head.

[NDSU1980]

Ojuri or Marcus Williams. Both knew what to do and when to do it.

How about Ryan Drevlow? Does anyone remember a guy named Matt Gratzek whose shoes we thought couldn't be filled? Jensen is kind of a no doubter. Holloway could be on this list too.

it's hard to pick one ......all these names mentioned on both sides of the ball....=....NATIONAL CHAMPIONS!!!!!

[steelbison]

Can't pick one as there were too many that stepped up big in my book. So here is my list in no particular order.

Jensen
Holloway
Smith
Ojuri
Veldman

Perry(animal in the Title game)
Drevlow(ditto)
Jirik(future star)
Wilson(MVP of the championship IMO)
Emanuel
Beck
Williams

Personally thought all players above had breakout seasons for us...Couldn't just pick one..

[99Bison]

Breakout player has to be something like: Beck, Smith, Jensen

[BisonTeacher]

Ojuri !!!!!!!!!!!
