This year’s group for the Thorpe consists of 37 players, including a conference-leading 10 players from the SEC. The ACC is next with seven, followed by the Big 12′s six and four apiece for the Big Ten and Pac-12.
Alabama led all individual schools with three players on the list, strong safety Mark Barron, cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick and free safety Robert Lester. Oklahoma and Florida State with two apiece were the only other schools with more than one player to make the list.
Position-wise, there were 18 cornerbacks, 12 free safeties and seven strong safeties.
Last year’s winner was LSU’s Patrick Peterson, who left school a year early for the NFL draft.
