2008 Preseason All-MAC Offense

Preseason Offensive Player of the Year
QB Dan LeFevour, Central Michigan
All LeFevour did was lead CMU in rushing with 1,122 yards and 19 touchdowns while completing 65% of his passes for 3,652 yards and 27 scores with 13 interceptions. He had two games (wins over Ball State and Akron) when he accounted for more than 500 yards of total offense, and he went for more than 400 in two other games. Even more than the numbers, he is a proven winner as the unquestioned leader and star of the two-time defending MAC champions.

2008 Preseason All-MAC
Defense

Preseason Defensive Player of the Year
LB Clayton Mullins, Miami University
The reigning MAC Defensive Player of the Year made a whopping 143 tackles with four sacks and 13.5 tackles for loss from his spot on the weakside after making 91 stops two years ago. Even though he bulked up over the last few years, going from a 209-pound prospect to a tight, quick 241-pound playmaker, he has gotten even better against the pass breaking up six last season.
