By MSU beat-writed Colter Nuanez. His preseason All-Big Sky picks on offense:
I certainly wouldn't put Edwards above Vincent Jackson just because I know how great he's been in the NFL, but then again I didn't see him play when he was at UNC, so who knows. It's pretty amazing though the number of ridiculously talented WRs and QBs we've had here at EWU recently:
QBs: Erik Meyer, Matt Nichols, Bo Levi, (Kyle Padron?)
WRs: Eric Kimble, Raul Vijil, Aaron Boyce, Nick Edwards, Brandon Kaufman, Greg Herd...
Wide receivers —Nicholas Edwards ranks among the best wide receivers I’ve ever seen play in the FCS or BSC. That includes the likes of Ramses Barden (Cal Poly), Vincent Jackson (Northern Colorado), Marc Mariani (Montana) and Elvis Akpla (Montana State). The 6-foot-3, 210-pound Eastern Washington senior put up absurd numbers last season, catching 95 passes for 1,250 yards and 19 touchdowns. This season, he’s primed to make a run at the Walter Payton Award and first-team All-America status.
The Eagles have long possessed one of the BSC’s top passing attacks. Last year’s starting QB, Bo Levi Mitchel rode the pass-happy attack to the Payton, even with Brandon Kaufman missing most of the season. The 6-foot-5 jumping jack was EWU’s go-to guy during 2010’s national championship run. He’s back this season and should return to all-conference form.
