Pierre is actually getting ready to graduate with his Masters Degree in May.... and he's a redshirt senior.

How the heck is Josh Mahoney from UNI not a finalist. He is a 4.0 Finance major at UNI, which is no picnic by any means. He is a true JR and is going to graduate at the end of the year, meaning UNI might not have him next year, unless he takes grad courses. If you saw a UNI game you will realize what Mahoney meant to UNI this past year.


He is a stud on the field and in the classroom, what a joke.
