Bradley Chubb Wins the Hendrick’s Award!

Published

on

The Bradley Chubb Award Circuit continues.

Earlier this week, Bradley Chubb became the first player in NC State history to win the Nagurski Award, awarded to the nations best overall defensive player (3rd ACC Player).

Today he won the Hendricks Award, given to the nations best defensive end. He beat out Nick Bosa (Ohio St.), Clelin Ferrell (Clemson), Marcus Martin (Slippery Rock), and Sutton Smith (Northern Illinois). Chubb is the 1st NC State player to win the award, and the 3rd ACC player to do so.

Chubb is only the 6th player to win both the Nagurski and the Hendricks Award, joining Elvis Dumervil (2005), Da’Quon Bowers (2010), Jonathan Allen (2016), Terrell Suggs (2002), and Brian Orakpo (2008).

If Chubb wins the Chuck Bednarik Award (best defensive player in the nation) tomorrow night, he will become only the 2nd player ever to win all three awards, joining Jonathan Allen from last season (3 ACC Players have won the Bednarik Award).

NC State Offers FCS DT Brandon Lane

NC State offered Stephen F. Austin (FCS) Transfer Defensive Tackle Brandon Lane (6’3″/300) yesterday.

Lane started in 6 of the 11 games he played in for Stephen F. Austin this past season. He finished the year with 44 tackles, 6.5 tackles for loss and 1.5 sacks. His PFF Grade was 74.6, which ranked 4th on the Lumberjacks Defense. His 79.9 Run Defense Grade ranked 3rd on the team. In 2022, Lane played 7 games as a reserve for Stephen F. Austin, recording 11 tackles 2.5 tackles for loss and 1 sack.

Lane spent his first two collegiate seasons at South Dakota State (2000-21). In 2000, he played in 1 game. In 2021, he played in 3 games as a reserve for the Jackrabbits. The 2000 season was the Covid Year, and the 2021 season was his redshirt year. As a result, Lane still has two years of eligibility remaining.

Around a week-and-a-half ago, Lane committed to Michigan St., but then he decommitted from the Spartans on May 2nd.

I don’t think Michigan St. is necessarily off the table, and he has visited Washington and West Virginia.
