Apparently you have to play for a BCS team to win awards. The Butkus Award was given to James Laurinaitis of Ohio State.
We all know who should have won the award. Here is what Cabral had to day about him.
“He epitomizes and embodies the core values of Colorado football, and that’s work ethic, mental and physical toughness, attention to details, and leadership,” he said. “Jordon has led by example, outworking, out-sprinting, out-practicing, out-preparing and out-competing the competition.”
“Being from Hawai’i, I can say that the entire state of Hawai’i is proud of him, and that the state of Colorado is proud as well,” Cabral added. “I can honestly say in my 19 years coaching linebackers at Colorado, I have never enjoyed coaching and watching someone play more than Jordon. Who would have thought this kid from a small town, if you can even call it a town, from a small island would do as well as Jordon has. When people ask me why I enjoy coaching, young men like Jordon are the reason.”
Dizon can be my wingman any day.
