Tegray Scales - Bednarik Award Watch List

Recommended Posts

Tegray Scales has received another preseason honor.

The Indiana linebacker is on the watch list for the Chuck Bednarik Award, which honors college football’s defensive player of the year.

As a junior last season, Scales led the nation with 93 solo stops and 23.5 tackles for loss. He also paced the Big Ten with 126 total tackles.

Scales ended the season with second team All-America recognition from SI.com, becoming the first IU linebacker to receive such honors since Van Waiters in 1987.

The Bednarik Award recognition is the latest preseason accolade to come Scales’ way. Scales is also on the watch list for the Lott IMPACT Trophy, which goes to the top defensive player who makes the biggest impact for his team on and off the field.

Scales also recently received second team All-America honors from Athlon.

Semifinalists for the Bednarik Award will be announced Oct. 30, before the unveiling of three finalists on Nov. 20. The winner will be announced as part of the Home Depot College Football Awards Show held on Dec. 7.
