Pickett also added two interceptions and three pass breakups to his stats.

In addition to both of these Bruins, five others were listed as an honorable mention: P Stefan Flintoft, DB Darnay Holmes, WR Theo Howard, RB Joshua Kelley, and K JJ Molson.

Flintoft was one of the top punters in the country, averaging 45.8 yards per kick (6th in the nation). Depsite being put in tough situations all year long, Molson was perfect from within 40 yards. Overall, he nailed 14/19 total field goals

Holmes was one of the more dynamic DBs on the team as he not only handled his business in coverage, amassing 48 total tackles, but also added three interceptions, and 11 pass breakups. On top of that, he also returned a kickoff for a touchdown.
