Three Georgia Bulldogs make the initial Nagurski Award list. The Bronko Nagurski Award is given to the best defensive player in college football.
The three hopefuls are defensive tackles Geno Atkins, Jeffrey Owens and linebacker Dannell Ellerbe. Atkins was 2nd on Georgia last season in sacks and quarterback hurries. Owens had 27 tackles including 4 for loss. Ellerbe led the Dawgs in tackles last season with 93.
The award has been presented every year since 1993. Last year the winner was LSU’s Glenn Dorsey. The award will be presented on December 7th.
