Warner Named A Buck Buchanan Award Finalist
Drake University junior safety Will Warner has been named a finalist for the STATS FCS Buck Buchanan Award, given annually to the top defensive player in the NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision.
Warner, a native of Pella, Iowa, has helped lead one of the nation's top defenses this season while having a record-setting season individually.
The safety is second in the nation in interceptions this season with eight, despite the Bulldogs only playing in 10 games. That total ties the school record and is the most by a Bulldog since 1970.
