As expected, the awards are starting to come in for Nebraska football standout Ndamukong Suh.
The senior defensive tackle was named this week to the American Football Coaches Association Coaches' All-America First Team. He was one of six Big 12 players named to the first team, and is the first Nebraska player named to the first team since defensive back Josh Bullocks and punter Kyle Larson were selected in 2003.
Suh has established himself as the premiere defensive player in college football this season as leader of one of the nation's most dominating defenses. He has 70 total tackles, 17 coming for a loss, and 7.5 sacks. He also has 24 quarterback hurries, 10 pass breakups and three blocked kicks in leading the Blackshirts.
Suh is already a finalist for six major awards, including the Walter Camp Player of the Year. He is the only defensive player among the five finalists for the award and, if selected, would be just the third defensive player to win the award in its history.
