CHICAGO, Ill. – Redshirt-senior linebacker Sio Moore (Apex, N.C.) was named to the Dick Butkus Award Watch List for the honor given to the nation’s top linebacker by the Butkus Foundation each year.
The Butkus Award, originally awarded through the Downtown Athletic Club of Orlando, has been given annually since 1985 and in 2008 was taken over by the Butkus family to be used toward charitable cuases, including the “I Play Clean” initiative. Overall, 51 collegiate players are selected for the watch list to honor the jersey number of Dick Butkus.
Moore has started 21 games in a Husky uniform, including all 12 in 2011. He finished third on the squad in tackles with 86, led the team with 16 tackles for a loss and was second with 6.5 sacks. Twice in 2010, Moore was named the BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Week. He made a career-high 17 tackles in an overtime win over West Virginia on October 20, 2010.
For his career, Moore has registered 202 tackles, eight sacks and four interceptions, three of which came in 2011.
