2016 MAC Player Countdown #6: Shawun Lurry, DB, NIU

The sky is the limit for Shawun Lurry.

As a true freshman in 2014, Lurry made appearances in all 13 games for the Huskies, recording 14 tackles and returning punts.

No one predicted that as a true sophomore in 2015, Shawun Lurry would end up leading the FBS in interceptions, win first-team All-American honors from both the Football Writer's Association of America and Phil Steele, second-team All-American honors from the Walter Camp Football Foundation and third-team All-American honors from the Associated Press and an honorable mention from Sports Illustrated.

Look back at his history, however, and you could definitely glean that Lurry had the potential for being a special player.
