Kentucky defensive star Josh Allen added another trophy to his collection Monday.
The senior was named the winner of the 2018 Jack Lambert Award, which honors the top linebacker in college football and is chosen by the Touchdown Club of Columbus, Ohio.
Allen is the first Wildcat to receive the honor, which has been given since 1991.
Past winners include current NFL stars Khalil Mack, Luke Kuechly and Von Miller. Fort Campbell native E.J. Henderson, who played at Maryland and in the NFL with the Minnesota Vikings, won in 2002.
Allen will be presented with the award — named for Jack Lambert, Pittsburgh Steelers Hall of Famer and Kent State football legend — on Feb.
