Malcom Brown up for the Nagurski

[Juan]

Nation's top defensive player.

http://www.texassports.com/news/2014/11/20/FB_1120141111.aspx

"The junior is one of five finalists and the lone defensive lineman. Defensive backs Landon Collins (Alabama), Senquez Golson (Ole Miss) and Gerod Holliman (Louisville), and linebacker Scooby Wright (Arizona) join Brown on the list."

"Brown is the third Nagurski finalist in school history, joining Derrick Johnson (2004) and Brian Orakpo (2008), both of whom won the award. The 2014 winner will be announced Dec. 8."

Here is AAS piece on this http://longhorns.blog.statesman.com/2014/11/20/texas-dt-malcom-brown-named-bronko-nagurski-finalist/

“I’m really excited. It’s been a lifelong dream to be up for an award like the Nagurski,†Brown said in a statement released by the school Thursday. “When I first got here, I said I wanted to be remembered and make people proud. I feel like being up for an award like this helps me do that. Derrick Johnson and Brian Orakpo have both won the Nagurski, and it means a lot to be a finalist like them because they’re two of the greatest to come through here.â€

Good for him! As I stated in a different thread, this young man is our MVP this year for both sides of the ball.

Now if you play defense in high school and want to reach the next level, this has to cathc your eye!

He has been the MVP on the D for sure.  He deserves to be on the list and would be my pick among those named.

Great. He deserves it. I just wish he'd stick around for one more season.

Great. He deserves it. I just wish he'd stick around for one more season.

Same, I'd really love for the kid to give us one more year. But you can't blame him if he leaves, his stock is really high right now.

 

[HornEsch]

He's a baaaaaaaaaad man. He is going to be a stud at the next level as well.

2 of the 5, or 40% of all Finalists, were coached by Coaches Strong and Bedford

Just sayin
