Despite not making the Butkus finals, a big congrats to Jackson for a phenomenal season. You’ve won the hearts of UConn fans everywhere. Perhaps going forward players will be vying for the Jackson Mitchell Award.

The guy has 16 tackles in that game… how much more can you do against one of the toughest running teams in the nation? He got shafted. His statistics were arguably better than the finalists. It’s a popularity contest.

 

[uconnbill]

Jack Campbell has 104 tackles and two INT
Ivan Pace Jr. has 108 tackles 8 sacks and 1 fumble recovery
Jamon Dumas-Johnson, Georgia 54 tackles 3 sacks
Drew Sanders, Arkansas 96 tackles 8 1/2 sacks 3 Forced fumbles, and 1 Int.
Daiyan Henley, Washington State 102 tackles 4 sacks 2 Forced fumbles 1 Int

Jackson Mitchell had 133 tackles, 4.5 sacks, 2 forced fumbles, and 1 Int.

His numbers are as good as any above and should be on the list for the finalist

 

[Scrutineer]

If he's as good as we believe he'll be drafted if he leaves after this year and can prove everyone wrong when he suits up like Travis Jones as one of the best rookies in the league.
If he stays another year, he can make the finals next year!

It’s absolutely a popularity contest which is why if we won he’d be there. Mora would have been on sport center ESPN would have made the case for us etc etc. He played well enough to win the award.

It’s almost as if someone posted the list of guys who didn’t make it. Nana’s LB is a stud. Did they not watch an LSU game? And Jackson Mitchell was the best player in every game we played
