In the Deed the Glory Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 The Walter Camp Foundation announced their five finalists for the Walter Camp Football Foundation 2009 Player of the Year award today. The lineup includes the typical suspects of Colt McCoy, Tim Tebow, Mark Ingram and Case Keenum, and one defensive player, Mr. Ndamukong Suh, DT, Nebraska. Congratulations, Ndamukong. Yet another feather in your cap. LINK This surprises me, not because he doesn't deserve it, but that a DT would be included. Awesome and good for you Ndamukong. That, more than anything else, might be an indication of his chances of going to NYC for the Heisman Ceremony. Top 5 in that award is something to be proud of. Would love to see the big man get his due there, as many have stated. Quote Link to comment

cmb23 Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 I don't see this posted anywhere yet. Sorry if I'm missing it. From www.waltercamp.org New Haven, Conn. – Three quarterbacks, including last year’s recipient Colt McCoy (Texas), headline the list of finalists for the Walter Camp Football Foundation 2009 Player of the Year award. Florida’s Tim Tebow and Houston’s Case Keenum join McCoy as finalists. Alabama running back Mark Ingram and Nebraska defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh round out the list. The 2009 Walter Camp Player of the Year recipient, who is voted on by the Football Bowl Subdivision head coaches and sports information directors, will be presented live on Thursday, December 10 during the 6 p.m. edition of ESPN SportsCenter. The winner will receive his trophy at the Foundation’s annual national awards banquet on Saturday, January 16, 2010 at the Yale University Commons in New Haven. Sponsorships and tickets are available by calling (203) 288-CAMP. Walter Camp, “The Father of American football,” first selected an All-America team in 1889. Camp – a former Yale University athlete and football coach – is also credited with developing play from scrimmage, set plays, the numerical assessment of goals and tries and the restriction of play to eleven men per side. The Walter Camp Football Foundation – a New Haven-based all-volunteer group – was founded in 1967 to perpetuate the ideals of Camp and continue the tradition of selecting an annual All-America team. The Walter Camp Football Foundation is a member of the National College Football Awards Association (NCFAA). The NCFAA was founded in 1997 as a coalition of the major collegiate football awards to protect, preserve and enhance the integrity, influence and prestige of the game’s predominant awards.
