CollegeFootballStars.com Names Omar Jacobs Top 2005 College Football Star
CollegeFootballStars.com, the exclusive home to the 2005 Player Guide and 2005 Season Pass, named Bowling Green Quarterback Omar Jacobs the top-ranked player in college football heading into the 2005 season. In receiving the honor, Jacobs beat out other stars in college football such defending Heisman Trophy winner Matt Leinart of USC, fellow Trojan Reggie Bush, Oklahoma’s Adrian Peterson, DeAngelo Williams of Memphis, Vince Young from Texas, and Florida’s Chris Leak.
(PRWEB) August 1, 2005 -- CollegeFootballStars.com (located at www.collegefootballstars.com), exclusive home to the 2005
Player Guide and 2005 Season Pass, recently named Bowling Green Quarterback Omar
Jacobs the top-ranked player in college football heading into the 2005 season.
Jacobs is just one of 150 college football players profiled by the
CollegeFootballStars.com editorial staff for its 2005 Player Guide.
The
endlessly talented Jacobs is CollegeFootballStars.com’s choice for this honor
because of a combination of past performance and his potential for excellence in
2005.
Jacobs is coming off a spectacular sophomore season in which he
threw for more than 4,000 yards and 41 touchdown passes. For his efforts, Jacobs
was named the 2004 MAC Offensive Player of the Year. He was second in the
country last season in total offense (358.5), passing yards (4,002) and third in
passing efficiency (165.5). Jacobs passed and rushed for over 300 yards six
times, and he even surpassed the 400-yard mark on four separate occasions.
Jacobs totaled three or more touchdowns in a ridiculous 10 games.
In
2005, all signs point to Jacobs being even more productive than his 2004
numbers. Charles Sharon and Steve Sanders, Bowling Green’s two most talented
wideouts, return to a stacked offense. Versatile tailback P.J. Pope, who is
equally adept at catching passes out of the backfield as he is running the
football, will also be back for another year. In other words, all of Jacobs’
primary weapons return.
“Omar Jacobs epitomizes what a college football
star is all about,” said CollegeFootballStars.com Co-Founder Paul Bernardin. “He
is a tremendous all around player whose ability to produce yardage and points by
both passing and rushing project him to achieve unmatched levels of production.
With such a great core of skill players retuning at Bowling Green, our editorial
staff is confidant he will be the best player in the country in
2005.”
