The results are in!

Earlier this week, AllSportsPeople asked you - the reader - to vote for our, "Midseason National Defensive Player of the Year."

And you all responded in a big way - with nearly 200,000 votes.

The winner?

Bishop Gorman (Nevada) edge-rusher and Arizona Wildcats commit Prince Williams, who also made AllSportsPeople' Preseason All-American team

Williams received 37.61 percent of the vote, a staggering 64,091 votes. 

Through the midway point in the season, the 6-foot-3, 255-pound defender had registered 53 tackles, 26 tackles-for-loss and 10 sacks, making him arguably the most disruptive force in the country despite a loaded Bishop Gorman schedule. 

Congrats to Prince Williams! 

Second-place Daniel Wojnowski of SFA Academy (Florida) also deserves recongition.

He finished with more than 50,000 votes after tallying 126 total tackles, 9 tackles-for-loss, 3 sacks and 3 interceptions.
