The University of Louisville has become the first school ever to have student athletes to be awarded win the top national awards for best individual players in college football and baseball.
Brendan McKay on Friday became the 31st recipient of the prestigious Dick Howser Trophy, presented annually to the nation’s top collegiate baseball player. He joins Lamar Jackson in some very select company, Jackson having been awarded the Heisman Trophy for the country’s best football player.
The Dick Howser Trophy was awarded Friday by the Howser Trophy committee and National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association during ceremonies at TD Ameritrade Park Omaha, home of the College World Series.
