Josh Allen’s award speaks to Mark Stoops’ shrewd hiring of assistant

It was a Big Monday for Josh Allen.

First, Kentucky’s star outside linebacker was named the SEC Defensive Player of the Year by the Associated Press. Then Monday night, Allen won the Bronco Nagurski Award from the Charlotte Touchdown Club for being the nation’s top defensive player.

Congratulations to Josh Allen on winning the Nagurski Trophy! He’s the first player at UK to win this award and just the fourth in SEC history. He’s the true definition of recruit and develop and he’s earned everything he’s got. pic.twitter.com/MWUGvV84lD
