Owls Among National Leaders for Bronko Nagurski & Outland Trophies
DALLAS – Temple juniors Adrian Robinson (Harrisburg, Pa.) and Muhammad Wilkerson (Linden, N.J.) have been named to the Bronko Nagurski Trophy and Outland Trophy Watch Lists, respectively, the Football Writers Association of America announced on Monday.
Robinson is one of 76 football players under consideration for the 2010 Bronko Nagurski Trophy, presented annually to the nation's best defensive player.
A defensive end, Robinson was named the 2009 Mid-American Conference Defensive Player of the Year as well as first-team All-MAC. He played in all 13 games with 10 starts at left end. Robinson led Temple and the MAC with 13 sacks, finishing the season with 46 tackles, including a team-best 14 TFL, a team-best five forced fumbles, three break-ups, and three hurries.
