HELLO FRIENDS, IT’S BEEN AWHILE, BUT WE GOT OUR FIRST PIESMAN OF 2018! In the first quarter of Arizona State’s home opener against UTSA, 6-foot-2, 304-pound defensive lineman Shannon Forman Jr. intercepted Roadrunner quarterback Cordale Grundy and returned it to the house. He had a nice juke and jump into the end zone, too!
WE GOT OUR FIRST PIESMAN OF THE 2018 SEASON!
Arizona State’s Shannon Forman Jr. gave us our first big-man TD of 2018
Forman, a sophomore, had just three total tackles last season in eight games. You have to bet new Sun Devils head coach Herm Edwards loves the defensive score. In case you forgot what the Piesman Trophy is or what it’s for, well, it’s pretty simple!
The short answer: an award we made up because we wanted to have fun.
The long answer: an award for linemen who do un-lineman-like things. Specifically, it’s an award for offensive or defensive linemen who catch, throw, or run with the ball. Our voting panel is made up of staff members here and at other places that cover college football. We also have a fan ballot that counts toward the final tally.
Last year’s winner was Heidelberg’s Brock Riggs. Thank you, Forman, for giving us a beauty of a first Piesman play for 2018.
