Top D1A Players of the Fall: The Forwards

We're coming on to some end-of-year awards and recognition, and today we unleash our impact players from D1A this past fall.

Now, this is of course a complex listing because there are many teams that used to be un D1A but are now NCR D1, and there are some teams that are both. We have decided to limit our listing here to players on teams not exclusively in NCR (so no St. Bonaventure players, for example).

There will be another list for those guys. We're trying to divide players based on distinct competitions, but it's difficult in that Penn State is listed under both, so, yes, it's complex.

Our listing is based on recommendations, what we saw with our own eyes, video evidence, and the judgment of other observers. We are listing only players from teams that competed in a meaningful way in the fall. So even though they played some this fall, players from Life, Lindenwood, UCLA, Grand Canyon, Cal Poly, and Saint Mary's will have to wait until the spring. We do include Davenport because they seven games, against highly-regarded opponents (no warmups), and two of those were conference games. 

We have chosen 60 players, four for each jersey number, although we've been a little flexible with some players (for example we have five flyhalves in there). Here below, listed in alphabetical order in each position group, are our top D1A forwards of the fall:
