Jorgensen a candidate for Hendricks Award
BYU junior defensive end Jan Jorgensen is a candidate for the 2008 Ted Hendricks Award, which annually goes to the premier defensive end in the country. Hendricks was college football's first three-time first-team All-American.
Jorgensen, who is also a candidate for the Rotary Lombardy Award and the Lott Trophy, has started 26 straight games for the Cougars at defensive end.
The 6-3, 260-pound native of Helper, Utah, played high school football for Carbon. Last season, he ranked 12th nationally with 20 tackles for a combined loss of 115 yards. He also led the MWC with 14 sacks.
Previous winners of the Hendricks Award include Arizona State's Terrell Suggs, Georgia's David Pollack and Virginia's Chris Long.
This year's winner will be announced Dec. 10.

There is some basketball recruiting information that pertains to BYU on our Recruiting Trail blog, for those of you interested in that aspect of Cougar sports. In short, Provo High's Brandon Davies (who will be a senior next month) and Kyle Collinsworth (who will be a junior) are both having sensational weeks at an all-star basketball tournament in Las Vegas this week.
Both players are considered "must-gets" for the Cougars.
