Alabama’s Christian Harris got snubbed of being a Butkus Award finalist

Well, now it is truly awards season in college football.

The University of Alabama football team has been recognized by the Southeastern Conference and national outlets for honors, due to its performance all season, but a couple of student-athletes were snubbed too.

Of the five finalists chosen for the Dick Butkus Award, which is presented to the best linebacker in college football, professional football and high school football, Christian Harris was not listed. The sophomore for the Crimson Tide was overlooked, despite earning recognition as a semifinalist. He shared the team lead for total tackles (68) with Dylan Moses, but had a team-high 46 solo stops.
