Pollo is one of my favorites for sure
He has done just about everything for us in his time here. He started off as a little used guy out of the bullpen, transitioned into long relief, then became a starter and sometimes outfielder. Blanked Southern Miss in a regional 2 years ago, and then had the game-tying sac fly in the 9th inning against LSU in the SEC Tournament last year. Now he's the Friday night starter and has done a great job in that role. Not only that, he is the team's emotional leader. Just look at Sunday Alabama game. In extra innings, with us really needing a sweep, Pollo was keeping everybody loose in the dugout with his rally Sombrero. Every winning team needs a guy like Pollo and we are damn lucky to have had him the past 3 years.

He Prolly is in my top ten of all state athletes...tho I haven't really thought much about it.
He is, however; definitely on my all-time favorite names to hear Jim Ellis pronounce. He is in some pretty elite company too. some other great names to hear called by Mr Ellis would include Chris Lotterhaus, Travis Chapman, Matthew maniscalco, Paul maholm, Thomas Berkery, and Jon knott.
Cullen Wacker would top the same list of non-bulldogs
Don't know about a top 10. I've never really thought about it. But he's definitely up there. Great guy, overcome a lot of obstacles in his life (too short, cancer), gives everything he has every time out, didn't complain when he wasn't getting the playing time I thought he deserved, team leader, etc. I thought it was hilarious seeing him wearing the sombrero in the dugout on Cinco de Mayo yesterday.
