BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - Indiana senior defensive end Nick Mangieri is a member of the 2015 Ted Hendricks Award Watch List, the Ted Hendricks Foundation announced. The award is presented to the nation's top defensive end.
Mangieri leads the Hoosiers and is tied for 10th nationally with a career-high seven sacks this season, the most for an IU player since Jammie Kirlew's 10.5 in 2008.
The Peoria, Ill., native is sixth on the team with 33 tackles, 21 solos, to go along with his seven sacks, eight tackles for loss (T-1st), two forced fumbles (T-2nd), one fumble recovery (T-1st), four pass breakups (3rd), four quarterback hurries (1st) and one blocked kick (T-2nd).
A two-time 2015 Indiana defensive player of the week, Mangieri is the team's active career sacks leader with 12 and is second with 17 tackles for loss.
The Ted Hendricks Award is named in honor of college football's first three-time first-team All-American. As a defensive end at the University of Miami, Ted used his agility, height and reach to block passes and kicks, force interceptions and pressure quarterbacks and running backs. He roamed the front line, read plays and blitzed on impulse, completely transforming the way the defensive end position was played. His professional career spanned 15 years and 215 consecutive games. It included four Super Bowl victories, eight Pro Bowl selections and inductions into the College and Pro Football Halls of Fame. It is in the spirit of Ted Hendricks' aggressive style of play, winning attitude and determination that the Defensive End of the Year Award for college football's premier defensive end is presented.
On-field performance, exceptional winning attitude, leadership abilities, contributions to school and community and academic preparedness are some of the criteria used to determine the Award's winner. Members of the national media, head coaches, professional scouts and former winners are included in the Award's voting committee. Candidates may represent any class (Freshman through Senior) as well as any four-year NCAA accredited school. The candidate's primary position must be Defensive End.
