Preseason players of the year selected by WAC

The media also voted on preseason players of the year. Hawai’i quarterback Colt Brennan was voted the Offensive Player of the Year while Boise State linebacker Korey Hall was picked as the Defensive Player of the Year. Brennan, a junior from Irvine, Calif. (Saddleback CC), led the nation in passing yards with 4,301 last year. He completed 68 percent of his passes (350-of-515) and threw for 35 touchdowns with 13 interceptions. Brennan’s 371.2 yards of total offense per game were tops in the country, and he was ninth nationally in passing efficiency with a 155.5 rating. Hall, a senior from Glenns Ferry, Idaho (Glenns Ferry HS), earned first-team all-WAC honors for the second straight year last season after leading the Broncos with 106 tackles (including five for a loss). His 283 career tackles rank 10th on the WAC’s all-time list.
