Posted Oct 16, 2009
Nominees were announced today for the 25th Annual Butkus Award honoring the nation’s top football linebackers, and BC linebacker Mark Herzlich made the list -- again -- despite not playing this year after being diagnosed with a rare form of cancer. Also on the list is UNC linebacker Quan Sturdivant, who has had an oustanding season so far. He and Herzlich are the ACC's only representatives on the list. (ESPN.com)
