Former University of Hawai'i quarterback Colt Brennan heads a group of nine former Warrior football stars who were named to the Western Athletic Conference's All-Decade Team, which was announced yesterday by the WAC after an online vote.
More than 1,500 participated in the voting for players who had been on at least two all-WAC teams between 2000 and 2009.
Former Boise State offensive lineman Ryan Clady was the leading vote-getter after being named to 1,007 ballots.
Boise State's Ian Johnson and TCU's LaDainian Tomlinson were named the top two running backs.
The other Warriors were receivers Ashley Lelie and Davone Bess, offensive linemen Samson Satele and John Estes, linebackers Solomon Elimimian and Pisa Tinoisamoa, defensive lineman Travis LaBoy, and punter Mat McBriar.
