Johnson, Landman, McMillian Also Garner Top Honors
BOULDER — Sophomore wide receiver Laviska Shenault, Jr., was named the University of Colorado's most valuable player at the team's annual senior banquet Sunday afternoon at the Dal Ward Athletic Center.
Shenault is the third receiver this decade to win the honor, named for the late Zack Jordan, joining Paul Richardson in 2013 and Nelson Spruce in both 2014 and 2015. However, he's the first player to earn the honor as a sophomore since 1999 when inside linebacker Jashon Sykes was recognized, and just the fifth sophomore to ever be named CU's MVP, joining Joe Romig (who shared it in 1959), tailback Eric Bieniemy (1988) and quarterback Darian Hagan (1989).
