Big Day For Javontae Campbell
Congratulations to Javontae Campbell.
Even for his two years, Javontae will go down as a great Falcon. Today, he was named Defensive Player of the Year in the MAC, as well as all-defense and first-team All-MAC.
He is our third DPOY--DeMar Moore and Richaun Holmes would be the others.
Here's what BGSU had to say about him:
A native of Muskogee, Okla., Javontae Campbell put together another historic campaign defensively, leading the nation in steals with 96 and steals per game averaging 3.1 per contest. His 96 steals once again broke the BGSU program record, which he set last year at 90, and is currently third in MAC history. He's been named to the Naismith Defensive Player of the Year Late-Season Team, one of 15 total players named and the only from a mid-major. Campbell is also a finalist for the Lefty Driesell Award, presented annually to the top defensive player in Division I.
As for his offense, Campbell has been just as impressive. This year, he has been one of just two players in the MAC to rank inside the top 10 during conference play for points, assists and steals, joined by the unanimous Freshman of the Year Leroy Blyden Jr. Campbell ranks first in both points (21.4) and steals (2.4) while being third in assists (6.0). Additionally, Campbell is only 18 points away from entering BGSU's top 10 for single-season points in program history and has already entered the top 10 for single-season assists. If he enters the top 10 for points during the postseason, he would join Antonio Daniels' 1996-97 season as the only two to be in the top 10 for both points and assists in a single season at BGSU.
It has been a pleasure to watch him play at BG. Even better this year with zero broken hands. He's a true Falcon and deserves these honors.

Here here! And here's hoping Mr Blyden of tSUN is scooped up promptly by a Power Conference team and is never in a position to challenge or jump him in the steals category or any other.
