Joining Shoemaker on the semi-finalist list are senior offensive tackle Mike Remmers of Oregon State; senior wide receiver Griff Whalen of Stanford; senior quarterback Bryant Moniz of Hawai'i; senior wide receiver Patrick Edwards of Houston; senior linebacker Steven Johnson of Kansas; junior safety Jordan Kovacs of Michigan; senior center Mike Caputo of Nebraska; junior running back Dominique Whaley of Oklahoma; and senior quarterback Austin Davis of Southern Miss.

                Shoemaker graduated from Boise State in May of 2011 with a bachelor's degree in business and is currently pursuing a graduate degree.
