First Team All-NEIM Defense:
DL
Pat O’Connor - Eastern Michigan - After leading the MAC with 7.5 sacks in 2014, O’Connor showed the MAC he’s back with 2 sacks and a forced fumble.
Jeremiah Harris - Eastern Michigan - Harris forced and recovered a fumble and if EMU has two greats on the DL and this isn’t just a case of FCS stat padding, EMU could be the next year 4 sleeper*.
Jamal Marcus - Akron - The former Buckeye also had 2 sacks and he added another tackle for a loss against VMI.
