Ohio State Defensive End Chase Young Wins Chuck Bednarik Award

Another one.

Chase Young's national awards haul continued Thursday night at the College Football Awards in Atlanta, where he was named this year's recipient of the Chuck Bednarik Award, which honors college football's best defensive player.

Young becomes Ohio State's first-ever winner of the Bednarik Award, which was first awarded in 1995.

The Bednarik Award adds to an award haul for Young that also includes the Bronko Nagurski Trophy, which also honors college football's best defensive player; the Ted Hendricks Award, which honors the nation's best defensive end; and both the Silver Football, which honors the Big Ten's best overall player, and the Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year.
