On Monday, the watchlist for the Bednarik Award for the nation’s best defensive player was announced. On that list were 2 Miami Hurricanes players: LB Shaq Quarterman and DT Kendrick Norton.
A bit more narrative on this from UM Athletics:
Sophomore linebacker Shaquille Quarterman and junior defensive lineman Kendrick Norton were selected to the watch list for the Chuck Bednarik Award, honoring the nation's top defensive player.
A freshman All-American by several publications a year ago, Quarterman delivered a standout first season for the Hurricanes in 2016.
