When did the "star era" begin? I notice that James Banks is on there (02).
I am struggling to come up with 25 D1 football players since 2002, from the DAC.
Lake Central-Gelen Robinson-Purdue, Ike Spearman Ole Miss/Eastern Michigan
Crown Point-Matt Ernest-IU, Kurt Wermers-Michigan/Ball St. , Andrew Krumweid-Army
Merrillville-James Aldridge-ND, Dexter and Riley Larrimore-Ball St. and Ohio St., Kenneth Grant-Michigan, Eugene Wilson-Illinois, Dolopo McCarthy-Purdue
Portage-Albert Evans-Purdue, Antoine Brown-Kentucjy
Valparaiso-Jeff Smardzija-ND, Mike Dorulla-Ball St., John Hofer-Western Michigan
Chesterton-Cartwright brothers (1 went to Miami Ohio and the other Western Michigan-don't know if they fall into the time frame)
Michigan City-Brandon Fiske-Western Michigan
LaPorte-?
***Players from each school, off the top of my head.***
Sorry if I missed anyone.
