New York, NY (Sports Network) - Louisiana State University senior center Rudy Niswanger became the 16th recipient of the Draddy Trophy on Tuesday night. Presented by HealthSouth at the National Football Foundation & College Hall of Fame's 48th Annual Awards Dinner, the Draddy Trophy is often called the "Academic" Heisman and recognizes the individual as the best in the country for combined academic success, football performance and community leadership. "This is a tremendous honor and I am very proud to accept this outstanding award," Niswanger said. "I want to thank the faculty and staff at LSU as well as the National Football Foundation & College Hall of Fame for this great honor." Niswanger started 11 of 12 games for LSU at center this season and has anchored the line for three straight seasons. He was the staring center on the Tigers' 2003 National Championship team. A team captain and two-time Academic All-American, Niswanger finished his LSU career with a perfect 4.0 GPA. "I am so proud of Rudy," LSU head coach Les Miles said. "He combines all the outstanding qualities of a student-athlete with all the strengths that this award represents. His work in the classroom, on the football field, and in the community, makes him truly deserving of the honor. He represents the best that college football has to offer and he is an outstanding representative of not only our football team, but LSU and the state of Louisiana." Previous winners of the Draddy Trophy include Bobby Hoying, Danny Wuerffel, Peyton Manning, Chad Pennington, Kyle Vanden Bosch and Craig Krenzel. |

Congrats to AJ Hawk on winning the Rotary Lombardi Trophy. More details on the award can be found in AJ's official thread.
He's only the 6th linebacker to win the award in its 36-year history. Chris Spielman was one of the others, in 1987. That also makes 6 Lombardi trophies awarded to Buckeyes, the most for any school. Notre Dame and Nebraska have each had 4 winners. Jim Stillwagon, 1970 (inaugural winner) John Hicks, 1973 Chris Spielman, 1987 Orlando Pace, 1995 Orlando Pace, 1996 (only 2-time winner) AJ Hawk, 2005 <!-- / message --><!-- sig --> |

Although AJ is probably relieved that he doesn't have to travel to NYC, I think it sucks that he didn't get an invite. Win or lose, you have here a Lombardi and Butkus Award Winner (coming soon) who deserves to be sitting next to Bush, Young, and Leinhart.

It sucks to say it but Woodsons Heisman had nothing to do wtih the media. It had to do with being the best player. |
