Leonard Moore has long been known as the "megastar" defensive back for the Notre Dame football team. The sophomore corner got another boost to that reputation on Thursday morning when he was named among the four finalists for the Bronco Nagurski award.
The Bronco Nagurski award is given to the nation's best defender, regardless of position. It's said that whoever wins the award is someone who is the best on the field but is also someone of high character. That certainly describes Moore.
Ohio State safety Caleb Downs, Texas A&M defensive end Cashius Howell, and Texas Tech linebacker Jacob Rodriguez join the Notre Dame defender.
