Derrick Johnson of UT wins 2004 Bronko Nagurski award!

[Phil C]

This award is given annually to the top defensive player in the country in college football. Well deserved by Derrick who is not only a great player but an outstanding person. He is bound to be a very high top first round draft choice in the NFL next year! Way to go Derrick!!
