Clemson defensive end Vic Beasley has been named one of three finalists for the Chuck Bednarik Award. The honor goes each year to the top defensive player in college football and is presented by the Maxwell Football Club of Philadelphia.
Beasley is joined by Joey Bosa, a defensive end from Ohio State and Scooby Wright, a linebacker from Arizona. This is the second award that Beasley has been named a finalist. Last week he was named one of four finalists for the Lombardi Award, which goes to the top offensive or defensive lineman in college football.
