2008 CFN WAC Preview
2009 Preseason
All-WAC Offense
Preseason Offensive
Player of the Year
QB Colin
Kaepernick, Jr. Nevada
 Kaepernick
has now established himself as one of the
special players in the WAC, and one of the most dynamic players
in college football. A Vince Young type, he’s 6-6, 215 pounds,
and quick with tremendous running skills. After running for 593
yards and six touchdowns as a freshman, to go along with 19
touchdown passes and just three interceptions, he was even
better once he got the gig all to himself. Helped by a 240-yard,
three touchdown rushing day against UNLV, he ran for 1,130 yards
and 17 touchdowns, while throwing for 2,849 yards and 22
touchdowns with seven interceptions. He’s not always accurate,
completing just 54% of his passes, but the WAC Offensive Player
of the year has a major-league fastball to go along with his
mobility.

2009 Preseason
All-WAC Defense
Preseason Defensive Player of the Year
CB
Kyle Wilson, Sr. Boise State
 Wilson, the first-team All-WAC corner who flirted with the
idea of turning pro, found out he likely would've been a second day
selection and chose to come back to what should be an All-America
caliber season. The 5-10, 187-pound senior is one of the nation's best
tackling corners, making 35 tackles with 29 of them solo, and he came up
with five interceptions and ten broken up passes. He proved he could
handle the No. 1 corner job, and then some, and he should up his stock
and be one of the WAC's premier playmakers if anyone dares to throw his
way.
