Team 134 Captains -- Who Do You Have?
I'm surprised this hasn't been brought up on the board yet, but who do you have pegged as a captain for Team 134 next year? With Lewan coming back, my money would be on him being one of them. As for the other, it looks a little more up in the air. If I had to guess, it would be between Quinton Washington and Jeremy Gallon.
But who do you have?

Toussaint is a candidate too if all things go well the next six or seven months.
January 18th, 2013 at 7:14 PM ^
Love the guy, but his off the field issue does not express the level of leadership to be a captain at any level
January 19th, 2013 at 11:19 AM ^
He made one mistake... How many times have you driven when your BAC was .10 or whatever. Can't hold that against him forever

I think that two is enough. One from each side of the ball.
January 18th, 2013 at 7:37 PM ^
January 18th, 2013 at 7:08 PM ^
JMFR and Lewan

and that's it. Maybe Gardner too because he seems to be the most popular guy on the team and he's the starting QB.
There is nobody on the defense who has established themselves as a team leader.

Leading by example.

I'm pretty sure each side of the ball has to be represented. (That's why we always have at least two captains. )
I'd say Lewan and Ryan.
January 18th, 2013 at 7:10 PM ^
Gardner, Lewan & Ryan

and brunette girls (sorry, Te'o, only real brunettes allowed).
Seriously though, this is a tough question. I see one or more of the following guys:
Offense: Lewan, Dileo, Gardner (I just love the way he presents himself)
Defense: JMFR, Washington, ???
I see a lot more guys on offense than defense. But then again, I'm just a fan and am not seeing the team chemistry on the field or in the locker room.

January 18th, 2013 at 7:20 PM ^
Lewan, Schofield and Q.Wash.
January 18th, 2013 at 7:14 PM ^
I Gardner gets his medical redsirt would that eliminate him from consideration?
January 19th, 2013 at 1:08 PM ^
No. Fourth-year guys are eligible.
January 18th, 2013 at 7:14 PM ^
Taylor Lewan and I am pulling for Brendan Gibbons to be a captain.

I don't see how it can't be two last-year players. Especially with the coaching staff's philosophy about winning for the seniors. I think Lewan is a lock, and agree it would have to be someone on the defense for the other captain. Not sure who.

Parden my ignorance, but didn't Hoke say that you need to be a senior to be a captain?
Also, I think two captains are perfect, 1 for D and 1 for O. Is there any cap on how many captains there will be? I'm guessing this is going to turn into a case by case thing.
My vote right now is Lewan, and sticking with the seniors only theme, I'm not sure of who else it would be besides Gallon.
January 19th, 2013 at 2:52 AM ^
But I recall him saying:
Team plays for its Seniors.
Seniors are expected to lead by example.
You could certainly infer that seniors are preferred, but I think JMFR would be a great captain, even as an underclassman. Lewan is a given, IMO.

4 seniors. Dileo, Lewan, Washington, and maybe Gibbons.
January 18th, 2013 at 7:40 PM ^
LEWAN.
January 18th, 2013 at 7:42 PM ^
Lewan & Washington or Gordon. I think Gallon has an outside shot but I would expect to have a captain from each side of the ball.
January 18th, 2013 at 7:43 PM ^
Lewan and Gordon.
January 18th, 2013 at 7:44 PM ^
Lewan & Gardner pending any requirement of 1 offense & 1 defense. When has a kicker (Gibbons) ever been captain? That would be quite fitting for Gibbons, though - imagine his reaction: "cool."
January 18th, 2013 at 7:48 PM ^
January 18th, 2013 at 8:12 PM ^
Gallon, Gordon, and Gardner(if no redshirt) would also be in the running I imagine.
January 18th, 2013 at 8:19 PM ^
Lewan/Gardner/Countess
January 19th, 2013 at 5:52 AM ^
There will be a redshirt sophomore be a captain. I'm pretty sure Countess will not be considered this year.
January 18th, 2013 at 8:20 PM ^
January 18th, 2013 at 8:46 PM ^
Lewan
Gallon
Dileo
Washington
January 18th, 2013 at 8:52 PM ^
Lewan
Gardner
Ryan

I forgot about him. I will switch mine to Lewan/Gardner/Ryan too.
