Rudy Awards

[ladyhawke]

Here is info on the Rudy Awards in case anyone is interested. Nice write up on Alex. I can't believe that 'the most accurate kicker in NCAA history' did not win the Groza Award. Man! What were those people thinking????

Anyway, I hope he wins the Rudy. He deserves it (He also deserved the Groza!!) The award is given on January 11, 2011.

GO ALEX-GBR!

[NUance]

University of Nebraska senior kicker Alex Henery is the most accurate kicker in NCAA history. He began his career as a walk-on before earning a scholarship and setting nearly every Nebraska kicking record.

 

Alex went from a little-known walk-on to a player who has earned the respect of everyone in the football program. He was only offered a soccer scholarship out of high school, but has turned into arguably the top kicker in college football. He is a three-time Second-Team All-Big 12 selection, two-time Lou Groza Award semi-finalist and Nebraska’s all-time leading scorer. He also won the Brook Berringer Citizenship Team award, given for community outreach.

 

Well, the respect of everyone in college football except this year's Groza nomination committee.

I don't think Alex will win. Besides being a walk-on he didn't have much to overcome compared to the others.
