Impressive. Especially on a team that didn't even make the playoffs. I'm glad they didn't overlook him because of UNI's record.

Re: Schult named Madness FCS Defensive POY

Most of the time when we had an overall dominating defense we got fewer awards because so many players were so good, that they took stats away from one another, much deserved award though.

I was thinking the same thing. Farley's defenses have been so solid for so long ... lots of conference first teamers, second and HRs, always known nationally as a solid unit.

Schult is also up for the Buck Buchanon Award, plus was just awarded an $18k scholarship for grad study as a finalist for the Campbell Award.

Hell of a kid.

Interesting explanation. I hadn't thought of it that way. So, are you saying that he wouldn't have gotten the award if we had played better this year? Or are you just making a general statement about better defenses prevent individuals from standing out as much?

Schult is a good kid. Works hard and it shows both on and off the field. Comes from a strong, supportive family. Sad that his grandfather missed Karter's last home game due to health issues. He has a bright future.

Karter Schult will be playing in the Shrine collegiate all star game in St Petersburg Florida Saturday January 21st broadcast on the NFL network. Hope he fulfills all his goals.

Exactly. His stats made him the man but our record did him 0 favors. Hopefully bigger and better things for the team next year.

Congratulations to Karter for this and other awards! He seems like a class act from start to finish. Another UNI alum to be extremely proud of.
