DeAngelo Malone will have the opportunity to play for the team he grew up watching as the Cedar Grove High School product and two-time C-USA Defensive Player of the Year was selected by the Atlanta Falcons on Friday night.
Malone racked up a remarkable amount of awards and watch list adds in his five seasons in Bowling Green, including the aforementioned league DPOY awards and three All-C-USA first team nods.
At 6’4” and 240 pounds, Malone could be argued as the defensive backbone of WKU’s team for the last five years. He totaled 349 tackles in his college career with an impressive 34 sacks, eight passes deflected, and nine forced fumbles.
