Mission accomplished.

Last night he became the only player in school history to win the Nagurski Award (Levar Fisher was a Semifinalist in 2000). Chubb joins Clemson’s Da’Quan Bowers (2010) and Boston College’s Luke Kuechly (2011) as the 3rd ACC player to earn the award.

Chubb beat out Minkah Fitzpatrick (S, Alabama), Josey Jewell (MLB, Iowa), Ed Oliver (DT, Houston), and Roquan Smith (OLB, Georgia) to take home the hardware.
