Falcons Year-end Honors

At the football banquet, the Falcons gave out their year-end awards. Candidly, I don't know what some of these mean, but I commented on a couple as well.

President's Award - Kevin Huelsman
Captain's Award - Loren Hargrove, Antonio Smith, Kory Lichtensteiger, Corey Partridge, Sean O'Drobinak

Coaches' Award - Pete Winovich

Winovich clearly deserves this award. A highly touted Fr. from PA who was a QB and LB, he came to BG and gave up a year for a few plays on special teams, then bounced around from LB to TE to FB. He contributed to this year's team nearly anonymously, blocking for running plays and protecting the QB, and making a few plays, like the fake FG against UT. He was a selfless player who put team before self.

Carlos Jackson Award - Loren Hargrove

Doyt Perry Award - VAN & TRACY WRIGHT

Glenn Sharp Award - CAL BOWERS

Ken Schoeni Award - Pat Watson

Orange Helmet Award - Sean O'Drobinak

Another player who put team over self, O-Drob switched positions before his senior season from TE to DT, played hurt most of the season, and for it all was promoted to captain during the season. A true Falcon.

Future Award - Willie Geter / Sinisa Vrvilo

Willie Geter is going to be a great player. He is tough, and fast. Garrett Wolfe-like. If he can stay healthy, he will rack on yards on top of yards.

Vrvilo stepped in and had one of the best seasons a kicker at BG has ever had.

Top Defensive Lineman - Diyral Briggs

Top Linebacker - Erique Dozier

Top Defensive Back - P. J. MAHONE

Top Offensive Lineman - Drew Nystrom

Top Receiver - Freddie Barnes

Top Offensive Back - Tyler Sheehan

Special Teams - Antonio Smith

Of the players above, only one is a senior. Just sayin'.

MVP - Kory Lichtensteiger

Well-deserved, and glad to see the linemen get the credit for being the best player on our team. A great career, Kory. See you on Sunday.

Aaron Richardson - Garth Hartung

Top Victory Club Performers - John Haneline, Sean O'Drobinak, Kory Lichtensteiger, Pete Winovich

Scout Team Players of the Year
OFFENSE - JASON RICE
DEFENSE - Gary Wright

Top Student-Athlete - Shane Steffy
