Yesterday, we joked about including Marty Tadman in the discussion for preseason WAC defensive player of the year. The New Mexico State media? Not joking.

The preseason picks for offensive and defensive players of the year should be announced later today. We voted for Chase Holbrook for offensive player of the year and Boise State’s Marty Tadman for defensive player of the year.

Here’s a close-up image of their selection.

Tadman lost to Hawaii’s Solomon Elimimian, who is still an active player.
