GoFrogs: Banogu and Summers on Bednarik Award Watch List
PHILADELPHIA -- TCU defensive end Ben Banogu and linebacker Ty Summers have been named to the watch list for the 2018 Chuck Bednarik Award, presented to the College Defensive Player of the Year.
Banogu, the Big 12 Preseason Defensive Player of the Year, was first-team All-Big 12 and the Big 12 Defensive Newcomer of the Year last season. His 8 1/2 sacks ranked second in the Big 12, behind only teammate and current Buffalo Bill Mat Boesen (11 1/2). Banogu's 16 1/2 tackles for loss led TCU and were third in the Big 12. The senior from McKinney, Texas, had at least one TFL in 13 of 14 games. He also forced three fumbles on the season, including on sacks in consecutive road wins at Arkansas and Oklahoma State.
Summers, who will play this fall as a graduate student after already earning his TCU degree, is a two-time All-Big 12 selection. His 271 career tackles rank fifth in the 18-season tenure of head coach Gary Patterson. Summers enters the 2018 campaign needing 73 stops to pass current Los Angeles Ram Travin Howard (343) for the top spot.
