HERMANSON NAMED TO CFPA’S WATCH LIST FOR DEFENSIVE BACKS

MISSOULA, MONTANA (6/4/14) – The University of Montana's Matt Hermanson has been placed on the 2014 College Football Performance Awards (CFPA) FCS Awards Watch List for defensive backs, that organization announced recently.

Hermanson, a 6-1, 202-pound senior free safety, is the second Montana player to earn a spot on the 2014 watch list.  Recently senior defensive end Zack Wagenmann was named to the CFPA’s watch list for defensive linemen.

From Sioux Falls, S.D., Hermanson will be starting for the third season in a row in 2014.  He is Montana’s leading returning tackler.  He begins his senior year ranked 29^th in school history with 239 career tackles. 

Last season Hermanson was the Grizzlies’ second leading tackler with 107, including 53 solo stops.  He tied for the team lead with three forced fumbles and in fumble recoveries with two.  He was ranked 13^th in the Big Sky Conference averaging 8.9 tackles a game, which ranked him 51^st in the FCS.  He was a second team all-league selection.

The initial watch list includes 38 returning defenders, vying for the top defensive back award in the FCS. All players are eligible for awards at their respective positions; players are not preemptively eliminated from consideration. 

Last season linebacker Jordan Tripp earned the CFPA Elite Linebacker Award, while cornerback Trumaine Johnsonearned the CFPA Elite Defensive Back Award in 2011.  Twenty-eight CFPA winners have been first-round NFL Draft selections.

Hermanson is an anthropology major.  His parents are Mary and Brian Hermanson of Sioux Falls.

COMPLIANCE TIP OF THE WEEK: Endorsement of Non-Institutional Athletics Events Involving Prospects

Athletics staff may not serve as a consultant for an athletics event that primarily involves prospects and may not endorse or promote the event. Athletics staff may not promote or endorse a prospect’s team or coach, or an athletics facility that is primarily used by prospects.

Related Q &A….

Q – May an event organizer use a coach’s name in the advertisement of an athletics event that primarily involves prospects if the coach is going to be a speaker at the event?

A – Yes, since the coach is speaking at the event this would be considered informational.

Q – May a coach tweet that he or she is going to be speaking at the athletics event?

A – No, this would be considered an endorsement or promotion of the event.

Q - Is it permissible for a UM coach to tweet, “The Flying Eagles are coached by a future hall of famer?”

A – No, this is an endorsement for the coach of the prospect’s team. If a UM coach comments at all on the coach of a prospect, it should be factual, general in nature and not extensive. It is impermissible to talk about personal awards and accolades that the coach has received.

Q – Is it permissible for a UM coach to tweet, “Just caught a great game at the home of the Flying Eagles. State of the art facility. One of the best in the country?”

A – No, this is an endorsement of the facility. A coach can tweet the city he or she is in, but not the high school or facility he or she is at.

WHY? Such endorsement and promotion can create a recruiting advantage.
