Adam Leonard on Butkus Watch List

Adam Leonard was named to the Butkus Award Watch List yesterday. Here's what the award's about:

The Butkus Award®, instituted in 1985, has been given annually to the top linebacker in college football. The Award, named in honor of Pro Football Hall of Fame linebacker Dick Butkus, is regarded as one of the elite individual honors in college football.

The Butkus Award will be presented January 13, 2009, at the National Italian American Sports Hall of Fame in Chicago.

Congrats to Adam!
