2012 NUC FCS POLL With over 2,000 NUC alums signing FBS and FCS football scholarships over the last two years the National Underclassmen has decided to start its own FCS Poll. Approximately half of these NUC alums signed scholarships to play at the FCS level. This poll will be updated once a week once the season begins and will run until the FCS National Championship game is played on January 5th, 2013 at FC Dallas Stadium in Frisco, Texas. We hope our extended NUC family which includes alums, parents, and recruiting fans will enjoy tracking their favorite FCS schools. 1. Montana State (MT) Bobcats Head Coach: Rob Ash Last Season Record: (10-3) Players to Watch: Brad Daly, DE, Jr.; Darius Jones, CB, Sr.; Cody Kirk, RB, Sr.; DeNarius McGhee, QB, Jr.; Jody Owens, LB, Sr.; Tray Robinson, RB, Sr.; Caleb Schreibeis, DE, Sr. 2. North Dakota State (ND) Bison Head Coach: Craig Bohl Last Season Record: (14-1) FCS National Champions Players to Watch: Brock Jensen, QB, Jr.; Cole Jirik, DE, Jr.; Sam Ojuri, RB, Jr.; Marcus Williams, CB, Jr. 3. Sam Houston State (TX) Bearkats Head Coach: Willie Fritz Last Season Record: (14-1) FCS Runner-ups Players to Watch: Brian Bell, QB, Jr.; Tim Flanders, RB, Jr.; Kenneth Jenkins, DB, Sr.; Richard Sincere, WR, Jr.; Dax Swanson, DB, Sr.; Darius Taylor, LB, Sr.; Darnell Taylor, DB, Sr. 4. Old Dominion (VA) Monarchs Head Coach: Bobby Wilder Last Season Record: (10-3) Players to Watch: Angus Harper, RB, So.; Taylor Heinicke, QB, So.; Eriq Lewis, CB, So.; Nick Mayers, WR, Sr.; Larry Pinkard, WR, So.; Antonio Vaughn, WR, So.; Craig Wilkins, L, Sr. 5. Appalachian State (NC) Mountaineers Head Coach: Jerry Moore Last Season Record: (8-4) Players to Watch: Ronald Blair, DL, So.; Brandon Grier, LB, Sr.; Jamal Jackson, QB, Jr.; Jeremy Kimbrough, LB, Sr.; Demetrius McCray, DB, Sr.; Andrew Peacock, WR, Jr. 6. Towson (MD) Tigers Head Coach: Rob Ambrose Last Season Record: (9-2) Players to Watch: Frank Beltre, DE, Sr.; Jordan Dangerfield, S, Sr.; Alexander DiSanzo, LB, Sr.; Grant Enders, QB, Sr.; Tom Ryan, WR, Sr.; Romale Tucker, DE, Sr.; Terrance West, RB, So.; Danzel White, LB, Sr. 7. Georgia Southern (GA) Eagles Head Coach: Jeff Monken Last Season Record: (11-3) Players to Watch: Robert Brown, WR/RB, Jr.; Jerick McKinnon, QB, Jr.; Josh Rowe, LB, Sr.; Brent Russell, DT, Sr.; Deion Stanley, S, So.; Dominique Swope, FB, So. 8. New Hampshire (NH) Wildcats Head Coach: Sean McDonnell Last Season Record: (8-4) Players to Watch: Manny Asam, DB, Jr.; Alan Buzbee, LB, Sr.; Matt Evans, LB, Sr.; RJ Harris, WR, So.; Chris Houston, DB, Jr.; Joey Orlando, WR, Sr.; Dontra Peters, R, Sr. 9. James Madison (VA) Dukes Head Coach: Mickey Matthews Last Season Record: (8-5) Players to Watch: Jordan Anderson, RB, Jr.; Dean Marlowe, S, So.; Stephon Robertson, LB, Jr.; Dae'Quan Scott, RB, Jr. 10.   Stony Brook (NY) Seawolves Head Coach: Chuck Priore Last Season Record: (9-4) Players to Watch: Jawara Dudley, LB, Jr.; Kyle Essington, QB; Sr.; Miguel Maysonet, RB, Sr.; Dan Mulrooney, LB, Sr.; Kevin Norrell, WR, Sr. 11.   Montana (MT) Grizzlies Head Coach: Mick Delaney Last Season Record: (11-3) Players to Watch: Jordan Canada, RB, So; John Kanagata'a, LB, Jr.; Peter Nguyen, RB, Sr. 12.   Youngstown State (OH) Penguins Head Coach: Eric Wolford Last Season Record: (6-5) Players to Watch: Jelani Berassa, WR, Jr.; Christian Bryan, WR, So.; Jamaine Cook, RB, Sr.; Jeremey Edwards, S, Sr.; Kurt Hess, QB, Jr.; Teven Williams, LB, So.; Travis Williams, LB, So. 13.   Delaware (DE) Blue Hens Head Coach: KC Keeler Last Season Record: (7-4) Players to Watch: Tim Donnelly, QB, Sr.; Travis Hawkins, DB, Jr.; Andrew Pierce, RB, Jr.; Ricky Tunstall, DB, Sr.; Nihja White, WR, Sr.; Paul Worrilow, LB, Sr. 14.   Indiana State (IN) Sycamores Head Coach: Trent Miles Last Season Record: (6-5) Players to Watch: Aaron Archie, LB, Sr.; Shakir Bell, RB, Jr.; Donald Spencer, WR, Jr.; Jacolby Washington, LB, Sr. 15.   Northern Iowa (IA) Panthers Head Coach: Mark Farley Last Season Record: (10-3) Players to Watch: David Johnson, RB, So.; Garrett Scott, DB, Sr.; Terrell Sinkfield, WR, Sr.; Varmah Sonie, DB, Sr. 16.   Wofford (SC) Terriers Head Coach: Mike Ayers Last Season Record: (8-4) Players to Watch: Eric Breitenstein, FB, Sr.; Donovan Johnson, RB, Jr.; Mike Niam, LB, Sr.; Alvin Scioneaux, LB, Jr.; Blake Wylie, CB, Sr. 17.   Stephen F.
