This hasn’t been anything close to an award-worthy season, but one freshman has the Cowboys alive for some hardware with three games left.
Wendell Gregory is one of 14 semifinalists for Shaun Alexander Freshman of the Year Award after the list came out on Wednesday. Gregory is up against six quarterbacks, who always seem to win these things. However, being on a shortlist is still incredible.
Gregory is one of five defensive players on the list and one of two to receive the Edge distinction. So in a way, Gregory could already be considered one of the best defenders in the country just for appearing on the list.
