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.
