The MFC announced their watch list for the upcoming season’s Chuck Bednarik Award this morning and UVA Senior Juan Thornhill was included among the potential candidates.

Thornhill leads a defense that finished 43rd last year in Def S&P+ and will be looking to finish his career in Charlottesville with another strong season. He recorded 63 tackles, 4 INTs, and 12 pass breakups in 2017 and will possibly spend time lining up at both safety and corner in Nick Howell’s defense.

The pick at 3:04 is my personal favorite.
