Top 10 Defensive Backs

2 - Matt Johnson, Sr., S, Eastern Washington
Comment: Made big plays at big times last season.
4 - Jeff Minnerly, Jr., S, Eastern Washington

En route to a national title, Eastern Washington safety Matt Johnson played as big a role as anyone on the Eagles' defense. Johnson had nine tackles and broke up a pass in a 20-19 victory over Delaware in the championship game, and collected nine tackles, an interception, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery the week prior in a semifinal win over defending champ Villanova. His 105 total stops were more than any DB in the league.
