Posted Nov 9, 2019
12 semi-finalists were announced for the Butkas Award, an honor given to the best linebacker in college football. Glaringly left off the list was UNC's Chazz Surratt, whose statistics place the converted QB right in the middle with the finalists. Among the 12, Surratt is second in tackles, fourth in tackles-for-a-loss, third in sacks, and fourth in quarterback hurries. (Inside Carolina)
