The Notre Dame Fighting Irish are on their way to the college football playoff to take on Alabama, but first... there is some individual hardware to pick up first.

Per ND Press Release:

NOTRE DAME, Indiana — Capping a senior season as one of the best defensive players in the nation, Notre Dame senior linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah has won the 2020 Butkus Award, which honors the top linebacker in college football. He joins a rich tradition of high-level linebacker play at Notre Dame over the last decade, with Manti Te’o (2012) and Jaylon Smith (2015) also being named Butkus Award winners in their time under the Dome.
