Husker football had another honor added to its long and distinguished list earlier this week, as defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh was named the Associated Press Player of the Year.
Suh was a key ingredient in the success of the Big 12 North Division champion Husker football team this season. He led the team in tackles with 82, had 12 sacks and 23 tackles for loss and finished his career with 56 career tackles for losses, second all-time in school history behind two-time All-American Grant Wistrom.
Suh is being looked at as a potential first pick in the 2010 NFL Draft. Todd McShay of ESPN has projected Suh to be the first pick, likely going to the St. Louis Rams. He was considered a good first-round pick prior to last year's draft, but he decided to stay in school and finish his degree, and it paid off in many ways for him. He won numerous post-season awards, including the Outland and Lombardi trophies, and was fourth in the Heisman Trophy balloting.
You can see Suh play his last game as a Husker at the Pacific Life Holiday Bowl in San Diego, Calif. Nebraska will take on Arizona in this Wednesday, Dec. 30 matchup, and you can get tickets to see the Pacific LIfe Holiday Bowl now at Ticket Express -- where no Husker football game is ever sold out.
