From U of L:
University of Louisville defensive end/outside linebacker Trevon Young has been named the recipient of the Atlantic Coast Conference's 2017 Brian Piccolo Award, ACC Commissioner John Swofford announced on Thursday.
The Piccolo Award has been given annually since 1970 in memory of the late Brian Piccolo to the "most courageous" football player in the ACC. As a standout running back at Wake Forest, Piccolo was the ACC Athlete of the Year in 1965 and played for the Chicago Bears before his career was cut short when he was stricken with cancer. His courageous fight against that disease was an inspiration to the Bears and the entire football community.
