LSU linebacker Jabril Cox has been named among 16 semifinalists for the Dick Butkus Award for nation's best linebacker, the Butkus Foundation announced Monday. Former All-American Devin White was the first LSU player to win the Butkus Award in 2018, and he eventually was selected by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with the No. 5 overall pick in the 2019 NFL draft. Cox is LSU's fourth-leading tackler with 36 total tackles, and he is tied for second on the team with 4½ tackles for loss while adding one sack. | | |
