[JAN. 4, 2005]
NORMAL -- For the
second straight season Illinois State's
Boomer Grigsby
has been tabbed as IAA.org's Defensive Player of the Year to
headline the 40-man all-star team selected by I-AA.org, the
worldwide leader in I-AA news distribution.

Grigsby, the only three-time defensive
player of the year in conference history, capped off his storied
career with the NCAA, Gateway and Illinois State career tackle
records with 580 stops. He has received all-America honors from the
American Football Coaches Association, Associated Press,
CollegeSportsReport.com, The Sports Network and the Walter Camp
Foundation. Only five other
players have been repeat selections on the I-AA.org team. The
all-star squad puts a premium not only on performance, but also on
excellence in the classroom, character off the field and other
intangibles.
