Penn State sophomore defensive end Aaron Maybin, a Mount Hebron grad, is one of three finalists for the Chuck Bednarik Award, an honor bestowed to the nation's top defensive player.
A first-team All-Big Ten performer, Maybin is tied for second in the nation with 12 sacks, and 19 tackles of his 45 tackles went for losses. Ohio State's James Laurinaitis and USC's Ray Maualuga -- both linebackers -- are the other candidates for the award, which will be announced during the Home Depot ESPNU College Football Awards Show that will air on ESPN next Thursday.
