POCATELLO, Idaho- Two Idaho State football players have been named to the College Football Performance Awards Preseason Watch Lists. AJ Storms was named to the CFPA Linebackers watch list and
David Harrington was named to the Punters Watch List.
Storms earned All-American honors as a junior where he played in all 11 games and led the nation and conference in tackles at 13.3 a game while earning first-team All-Big Sky honors. He has 312 tackles for his careers and is 103 tackles away from passing Mike Calley's record of 414 tackles. Calley played for the Bengals from 1984-87. Storms needs 160 tackles away from breaking the career Big Sky record for tackles.
Harrington was named to All-American teams by Walter Camp, Associated Press, Sports Network and Phil Steele. He started all 11 games and earned first-team all-conference accolades in 2010, averaging 44.3 yards on 69 punts. He had 13 punts where he pinned the opponent inside their 20-yard line. Harrington, who will be a senior in 2011, also earned Big Sky All-Academic honors.
