Mansoor Delane continues to turn heads in 2025. The Virginia Tech transfer was one of the most sought-after players in the transfer portal, and he came to LSU with hopes of showcasing his skills on the national stage. He has done just that, and is one of the top defensive players in all of college football through 10 games.
For his efforts, Delane has been selected as a semifinalist for two prestigious awards. First, Delane is a semifinalist for the Bednarik Award, which is presented annually to the collegiate defensive player of the year by the Maxwell Football Club.
