Caden Dowler - National POW

[Cledus]

FCS National Defensive Player of the Week

[coloradocat]

Dowler continued his sizzling play with six solo tackles and a pick-6 as Montana State won 31-28 at previously unbeaten Montana to secure the Big Sky championship. His 34-yard return late in the third quarter turned a 21-17 deficit into a 24-21 lead the Bobcats didn’t relinquish. He’s earned top Big Sky defensive honors in three straight weeks with four interceptions and 204 return yards, including a TD in back-to-back Top 10 wins.

That's a DPOY November if I've ever seen one.

November is Big Man month, and I don't think anyone has been any bigger than Caden Dowler this month. Dude has been an absolute BEAST!

Where was the Yoder that was a running back that we played? I wonder if the one from Lehigh is a brother?

Bronson Yoder for William & Mary. Says Luke Yoder (Lehigh) is from Florida has an older sister and a young brother, Max. Bronson was from Indiana so I doubt they are brothers, maybe related though???

Caden finished 4th. One spot out of going to the Banquet.

To place 4th in this vote without having the flashy numbers is fantastic. What a ride with a year to go!

All he does is return INTs for TDs. Where are all the other stats?

I totally get that. I will need to do research but seems like Sacks, tackles and TFLs always win this. We see how great he is on a weekly basis, the people that browse stats may not. That is all I am saying.

You're totally right. I assume the first and second place votes he got were from voters on this side of the country that watched a couple Bobcat games. National awards for a division that doesn't get national coverage are always going to be stat based because nobody outside of the playoff committee is going to watch games outside their region so they have to go off numbers alone.

This is what I was able to find. My guess is it will go to Joshua Stoneking from Furman, 2nd Andrew Zock from Mercer.
