University of Texas senior LB Derrick Johnson (Waco, Texas/Waco HS) was named winner of the Bronko Nagurski Trophy, which is awarded annually to the best defensive player in college football, at a gala awards banquet at the Westin Hotel in Charlotte, N.C., Monday evening. The Football Writers Association of America and the Charlotte Touchdown Club present the trophy.

"This is something that I'll remember for the rest of my life," Johnson said. "Being named the defensive player of the year is a dream come true. It was one of the goals I set for myself from my first day on campus and it's taken a lot of work to get here. It feels good to know that all of the work paid off."

Good for him.

He's a great player and deserves it.

I wouldn't mind it at all if he wore the star next year.
