After a final that saw over 1,000 votes pour in, I am pleased to announce that the winner of The Ultimate USF Football Player Tournament, by a margin of 76-24%, is the incomparable Matt Grothe.
Grothe, a one seed, overcame a handful of USF legends to claim the title, including consecutive wins over B.J. Daniels, Mike Jenkins, George Selvie, and, finally, Quinton Flowers.
There were good reasons to vote for like, ten different players in this tournament, but Grothe was certainly one of them. Thanks again for voting and taking the time to analyze and debate each matchup— this series wouldn’t have been nearly as fun without all the reader feedback.
