Michigan State linebacker Cal Haladay has been named to yet another preseason award watch list.
The Spartans consistent starting linebacker was named to the Butkus Award Watchlist on Thursday afternoon. The Butkus Award is annually given to the nation’s best linebacker.
Haladay was also recently added to the Bronko Nagurski Trophy Watch List for the best defensive player in college football.
Haladay led the Big Ten in tackles per game (10.0) last season and ranked second in the conference overall with a career-high 120 tackles. He is returning for his third year as a starter and should once again be a key piece for the Spartans’ defense.
