Colt McCoy and Tim Tebow might have the name recognition but Ndamukong Suh has all of the momentum going into trophy-season. Suh claims the first of what could many peices of hardware for him, the Bronko Nagurski Trophy for the nation's best defensive player in the nation.
Nebraska’s Ndamukong Suh Wins Bronko Nagurski Trophy
Suh became the 17th winner of the award as voted upon by the Football Writers Association of America (FWAA) and sponsored by the Charlotte Touchdown Club. He’s the first Nebraska player to win the award.
“This was definitely a big surprise,” Suh said at tonight’s presentation banquet. “I want to thank all the other guys here. They are all great players. And I would like to thank the Bronko Nagurski family as well as the (Nebraska) coaches, Bo Pelini and his staff and my parents, This is a great honor. I am speechless. I was definitely not planning on winning this award.”
Quite a day for Suh, who found out he would be among the Heisman Trophy finalists in New York this weekend.
