Had to go with fellow Joliet Catholic Alum. Goolsby - my vote is biased

Courtney Watson. Monster.

While Courtney Watson was clearly the best linebacker of this decade, my favorite was Goolsby.

I always thought Brandon Hoyte was very underrated but Watson was a beast

Hoyte was indeed underrated. I remember he had something like 31 tackles in the first two games of the 2005 season.

The thing I remember about Watson was that he and Shane Walton forced turnovers like no tomorrow.

Voted Courtney....but always loved Rocky. Kid hit like a semi rollin' downhill.

Had to vote for my main man Hoyte. The guy was a freak on defense and always seemed to be in the right position.

Brian Smith and Mo Crum, though i loved them as players, very often found themselves in the wrong position, costing the team.

 

[jason_h537]

surprising to see Mo Crum getting so much love. Seems most of our defensive polls have 1 guy running away with it

 

[We_Are_ND]

This one was hard......gotta go with watty, loved his swag.
