He is also second on the team and 10th in the Big Ten with 14 tackles for a loss, and is second on the team and 10th in the conference with 6 1/2 sacks. He also has one interception, one fumble recovery and six pass break-ups.
The other finalists for the award were LSU defensive tackle Glenn Dorsey and Ohio State linebacker James Laurinaitis.
