DIAA Fall Top 50 Forwards
DIAA Fall Top 50 Forwards
Goff Rugby Report has released its list of top forwards in DIAA fall rugby.
This list is for players who were on teams that had significant playing time in the fall. Playing one or two games doesn't really count so players on teams that only played sparingly will be recognized in the spring. As we have done for the backs(DIAA Fall Top 50 Backs), and for DII, we have selected 50 players, but since we have trouble eliminating candidates, we are emulating some college conferences who names don't jibe with the actual number of teams therein - our top 50 forwards is actually a list of 81!
The players are listed by position, but not ranked any other way. We got this list thanks to observation, coach recommendation, all-conference lists, and all-Bowl Series lists.
