Offense: Deshaun Watson, #4, QB, Junior: It would only make sense that the Fiesta Bowl’s offensive MVP would get the STS player of the game. DW4 tossed 251 yards and 1 touchdown, while leading the Tigers in rushing with 73 yards and 2 touchdowns. He had a plethora of highlights, including a beautifully thrown dime to CJ Fuller for a second quarter toucdown, and a Woody Dantsled-esque 37 yard run to set up a scoring drive. DW4 did throw 2 picks, but one of those was due to an impressive play by Ohio State’s Raekwon McMillan.
Defense: Clelin Ferrell, #99, DE, RS Freshman: Clelin had a monster performance Saturday night, similar to Kevin Dodd’s explosion during last season’s playoffs.
