Top Men D1 College Players of the Spring: The Forwards

Goff Rugby Report has selected our Top D1 college players of the spring.

This is a list for players whose D1 teams (not D1A) played the majority of their season in the spring. We do not have Heart of America players in this list because opted to list them in the fall.

Top Men D1 College Players of the Fall: The Forwards

We also are not judging players based on 7s. This is a 15s list based on the 15s season. Overall we have 85 players (as opposed to about 150 in the slightly busier fall season). Our goal was to have at least five players per position—so if there are two players on a team at one position, such as lock, we are hoping to get about 10 players per position. That would give us at least 75 players, and this time we ended up with 85 because ... because we couldn't cut out those final 10.
