It has been a busy month for Olakunle Fatukasi.
Rutgers learned that it was getting its best defensive player back for the 2021 season back in December. The Scarlet Knights have one of their core players back and Fatukasi is certainly getting the recognition he deserves.
On July 19, Fatukasi was named to the Bednarik Award Watch List. This week, he has added two more watch lists for prestigious honors. On Monday, Fatukasi added to the Butkus Award Watch List and the Nagurski Trophy Watch List the following day.
Fatukasi was a semifinalist for the Butkus Award in 2020.
