HENDERSON, Nev. -- Brock Bowers was a two-time John Mackey Award winner as the nation's top tight end at Georgia.

Across the country at Oregon, Jackson Powers-Johnson was awarded the Rimington Trophy as college football's best center. Then there is Air Force's Trey Taylor, feted with the Jim Thorpe Award as the nation's top defensive back.

And don't forget about Dylan Laube, a Walter Payton Award finalist who also was also a first-team all-purpose All-American at FCS New Hampshire and led the nation in all-purpose yards the last two years.
