More positive press for the Sycamores and the MVFC!
Aaron Archie, Indiana State, Sr., 6-0, 235 - The Sycamores' leading tackler in both 2009 and 2011 has played a big part in the program's transformation from FCS laughingstock to FCS playoff contender. Last season, his 122 stops ranked second in the Missouri Valley Football Conference. The outside linebacker's spectacular play took away some of the spotlight from teammate and defensive end Ben Obaseki, which isn't easy to do.
Tyler Starr, South Dakota, Jr., 6-4 1/2, 236 - If it seems like Starr has the size of a defensive end, it's because he is making the switch from that position to outside linebacker. In his first season of action last year, he shook off some rust as a redshirt sophomore and raced around offensive lines for 14 sacks, all solos. This season, he will face tougher competition in the Missouri Valley Conference, but Starr will keep being a playmaker, albeit from a new position.
