2017 Best Players in the MAC: #14 Shawun Lurry, CB, Northern Illinois

Shawun Lurry is unique. Unlike any other player on this list, he has previously achieved First-Team All-American honors (FWAA).

Lurry's spectacular 2015 season landed him prestigious spots on many All-American lists. His FBS-high nine interceptions two seasons ago drew the eyes of the Walter Camp Football Foundation (Second-Team) and the Associated Press (Third-Team).

Lurry was not just a MAC superstar, but a nationally prominent shutdown corner. The ballhawk now owns 12 career interceptions, 303 interception return yards, and one touchdown to his name in just the past two seasons alone.

Just like the Huskies, who missed out on bowl season for the first time since 2007, Lurry's 2016 was not nearly as phenomenal as his 2015.
