Go Purple, Be Gold Post-Season Awards
Things have been pretty busy here at at go Purple Be Gold, and we haven’t been able to keep as up to date as we would like, but nonetheless, we’re going to continue posting as often as is possible. Over the next few days, we are going to look back at the season, and recognize the “Newcomer (Rookie) of the Year” for offense, defense, and Special teams.
Defensive Newcomer of the Year: There is really only one choice here, and that is Hau'oli Jamora.
He started the year as a back-up only receiving spot playing time. Due to some injuries, and improved play on his part, he became a full time starter after a dominant performance against Oregon State. A real athlete who at times both rushed the QB and also dropped back into pass coverage. He was constantly in the backfield disrupting plays, and by the time the Holiday bowl rolled around, was playing his best football of the season. While this may have come as a surprise to many,We here at Go Purple, Be Gold had a pretty good idea of what Jamora was capable of before the season started. His stats for the season:
Hau'oli Jamora
13 games 33 solo tackle 16 assists 49 total tackles 8.0 TFL 3.0 sacks 1 FF
Congratulations Hau’oli for receiving Go Purple Be Gold’s First Defensive Newcomer Of The Year!
