Cox Named to Ted Hendricks Award Watch List
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Redshirt senior defensive end Bryan Cox, Jr. was named to the 2016 Ted Hendricks Award preseason watch list, which honors the nation’s best defensive end as announced on Thursday.The Ted Hendricks Award is named in honor of college football’s first three-time first-team All-American. As a defensive end at the University of Miami, Ted used his agility, height and reach to block passes and kicks, force interceptions and pressure quarterbacks and running backs. He roamed the front line, read plays and blitzed on impulse, completely transforming the way the defensive end position was played. His professional career spanned 15 years and 215 consecutive games. It included four Super Bowl victories, eight Pro Bowl selections and inductions into the College and Pro Football Halls of Fame. It is in the spirit of Ted Hendricks’ aggressive style of play, winning attitude and determination that the Defensive End of the Year Award for college football’s premier defensive end is presented.
In 2015, Cox played in all 14 games and started 13 at defensive end. The Fort Lauderdale, Fla. native totaled 45 tackles on the season, including 10.5 tackles-for-loss and 3.5 sacks. In addition, Cox forced and recovered two fumbles to go along with six quarterback hurries
The Hendricks Award voting committee will cast two votes: one to narrow the list of candidates to 4-6 finalists, and one to choose our winner for this season. Our Final Mid-Season Watch List will be announced in late November. The 2016 winner will be announced on December 7th.
