I thought Dizon was the leading taickler in college football?
Dizon at one point this season did lead The Nation in Tackles...However, Idaho Linebacker David Vobora has taken over with 124 Tackles on the Season. Good to see a WAC guy followed by a Local Boy huh?
In case you were wondering here were Vobora's Numbers vs. Hawaii this season...
10 Tackles, 1 Interception
Thanks for the support Aaron and Aloha!
Dizon actually still leads the nation though in solo tackles, with 85. Good stuff.
UPDATE:
Dizon has been named one of 3 Finalist for The Butkus Award as The Nation's Top Linebacker. He will be invited to Orlando for The Awards Show on ESPN.
Congratulations Jordan!
