2010 Season Awards

Notre Dame held its annual football sports banquet to celebrate its 2010 season. It was a departure from the norm, holding an assembly only at the DeBartolo Performing Arts Center, rather than a full meal with guest speakers. Here's a recap of the award winners:

MVP - Michael Floyd

Nick Pietrosante Award for Most Inspirational Player - Robert Hughes

Guardian of the Year Award - Zach Martin

Lineman of the Year Award - Ian Williams

Rockne Student-Athlete Award - David Ruffer

Next Man In Award - Tommy Rees

Special Teams Player of the Year - Bennett Jackson

Offensive Newcomer of the Year - Tyler Eifert

Defensive Newcomer of the Year - Prince Shembo

Offensive Scout Team Player of the Year - Cameron Roberson

Defensive Scout Team Player of the Year - Kendall Moore


Notwithstanding the scout team awards, seven of the nine award winners will be back next year, which is a great sign for the Irish program. The biggest and most important is obviously Michael Floyd, the MVP. Surprisingly, Manti T'eo took home zero awards, but was easily the defensive MVP this season.
