Lavonte David - Butkus Award FINALIST

Good for Lavonte, and thank you Mr. David. I agree unfortunately he'll be overlooked because NU team defense is so poor.

He stands out as the only guy on a defense with the ability and the desire to run down and tackle other top-level athletes.

My guess is that Luke Kuechly wins the Butkis. But you never know with these awards.

This is the only other guy on that list that I would honestly even consider for the award. They both are the machine that succeeds in their respective defenses. Hightower splits votes with Upshaw and I believe Hightower has missed a game or two. He is not playing at the same level as others on this list, yet is on here due to his preseasonn hype.

The three guys that should be in New York are Teo, Kuechly and David.

 
I think David has earned the award, but there is stiff competition. The amazing part of the Butkus award is the guys who have won it, most have excelled at the next level, which is not always the case with some of these position awards.

He needs a quality final game before the award imo, as many voters/fans etc. will be watching the game..... even though for all intents and purposes this game does not mean much in the college football landscape this season.
