The Sports Network continues its pre-season rank of the best players... Both David Harrington and Tavoy Moore are named in the top 10 for special teams:

David Harrington, Idaho State, P, Sr., 6-3, 185 - Harrington consistently provides the Bengals' defense with good field position. Twenty of his 60 punts went for at least 50 yards and he averaged a FCS-best 44.35 yards per punt. The hang time of his punts help set him apart, but he also is strong with directional punting. A former junior college transfer, he spent the 2009 season as a redshirt at Tennessee. Last season, he made The Sports Network/Fathead.com FCS All-America second team.

Tavoy Moore, Idaho State, KR/PR, Sr., 5-7, 195 - Coupled with Harrington, Moore gives Idaho State an exceptional special teams tandem. Last season, Moore became the first player in Big Sky history to return both kickoff and punt returns for touchdowns in the same game two different times - against Northern Colorado and Montana. He averaged 18.3 yards on punt returns and 24.1 yards on kickoff returns. The playmaker has shifty feet and is hard to catch once he has a step on an opponent. A third-team choice on The Sports Network/Fathead.com FCS All-America Team, he was fifth nationally in all- purpose yards per game (184.9).

ISU special teams could truly be special next season. With the New Mexico transfer in the mix and if Tavoy gets himself eligible, ISU will have two blazers returning kicks. Harrington is a stud as well and if ISU can get some production out of Garcia as a PK, ISU could field one of the best all around special teams units in the country.
