CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Notre Dame safety Xavier Watts won the Bronko Nagurski Award given to the nation's top defensive player on Monday night.

The award was presented at the annual ceremony put on by the Charlotte Touchdown Club.

"It means a lot, especially with the journey I have been through," Watts said. "I have played offense, I've played defense and I've kind of bounced around and tried to find a spot to fit on the field my whole career. So this is a tribute to all of the hard work I did and everything coming together.
