Meet our 2023 Pig Skin Hero of the Year
Meet our 2023 Pig Skin Hero of the Year
Jelani Stafford, a Defensive Tackle for UConn, shattered all expectations for his Junior season.
Under Coach Jim Mora, Jelani was a dual-threat: he led UConn in rushing touchdowns as a secret Fullback, notched a career-best 40 tackles, and topped his team in fumble recoveries.
Outside of football, Jelani is pursuing a Communications degree and volunteers with United Way.
What's next for Jelani? A nice bag of high-protein pork rinds!
College quarterbacks get all the attention, so we're teaming up with Mike Golic Jr. to change that!
Each week, our Pig Skin Hero selection committee will honor an unsung hero who produces a spectacular highlight.
At the end of the season, we'll open up fan voting and select a Pig Skin Hero of the Year!
Amarie is a junior defensive lineman from Ruskin, FL. His EPIC 70 yard pick six against Memphis was one of the most memorable highlights of the opening week of the season!
SAY HELLO
Kobe is a redshirt junior defensive lineman from Farrell, PA. In Week Two, he scooped up a fumble and scored a touchdown in Miami's 41-28 victory over UMass.
Junior Defensive Lineman, Tyleik Williams, is no stranger to highlights. He entered the 2023 season with 37 tackles and 6 sacks. Tyleik's scoop-and-score touchdown against Western Kentucky put Ohio up 42-10!
SAY HELLO
Pork rind connisseur and team captain, DeWayne is a defensive tackle who takes crunching seriously! His Week Four THICC SIX against UConn was highlighted as play of the week by several media outlets (including yours truly).
SAY HELLO
Jelani is listed as a Defensive Lineman, but he also moonlights as UConn's offensive secret weapon. In Week Five, he ran for an offensive touchdown and also caught a critical first down pass.
SAY HELLO
Jelani's is a 6'2 Defensive Lineman from Vincent, AL. His Week 6 interception for 75 yards (and almost a touchdown) iced the game in a critical win over MTSU.
SAY HELLO
Let's just say that Sedrick's fumblerooski against Vanderbilt was... unconventional. Down 0-7 in Q1, he scooped up his own fumbled snap and ran the ball for a Georgia first down.
SAY HELLO
Nolan Rucci is a sophomore Offensive Lineman who stepped in a big way for Wisconsin. Late in the 4th quarter, he lined up as an eligble receiver and caught the game winning touchdown against Illinois. Delicious!
SAY HELLO
Who doesn't love a safety? The opposing team, that's who! Dani's crunch time strip sack against Indiana led to just that. Penn State would go on to win the game 33-24.
SAY HELLO
Nazir's interception against Missouri may have been the NASTIEST play of the year so far. The defensive tackle snagged the ball with 8 minutes left in the game and ran for nearly 50 yards! Georgia won the game 30-21.
SAY HELLO
Kenneth is 6'3" and 339lbs, but he's faster than some running backs! In Week 11, he sprinted 35 yards to chase down tackle a runaway Penn State player in the open field.
SAY HELLO
Our friend Derrick smoothly snagged a Maryland fumble and ran it in for a sweet touchdown to put Michigan up 13-3.
SAY HELLO
There's a lot to unpack with this hero, so try to keep up! Somehow, SMU's Will Benton long snapped a punt, sprinted downfield to the receiver, recovered a fumble, and then scored a touchdown. All in one play!
