Butkus Award Finalists Announced for 2024

News summary

Ole Miss junior linebacker Chris Paul Jr. has been named one of the five finalists for the 2024 Butkus Award, which honors the top linebacker in college football, commemorating the legacy of Dick Butkus. Paul, a transfer from Arkansas, has excelled in his first season at Ole Miss, leading the team in tackles, ranking seventh in the SEC, and contributing significantly to the defense's national top rankings in various categories. Joining him as finalists are Clemson's Barrett Carter, UCLA's Carson Schwesinger, Oklahoma's Danny Stutsman, and Georgia's Jalon Walker. Walker, the first Georgia player to be named a finalist since 2022, has been pivotal in Georgia's defense, which has allowed only 37 fourth-quarter points this season. Stutsman, with a history of over 100 tackles each season, continues to build on Oklahoma's rich tradition with the Butkus Award, previously won by notable Sooners like Brian Bosworth. The award will be announced on December 10, with a ceremony planned for February 1, 2025.
