Dorsey was given the award Monday night in Charlotte with Tigers coach Les Miles in attendance. "I am truly humbled to accept this award tonight," said Dorsey. "To be considered by someone else to be the best defensive player in the country means a lot. There are a lot of great athletes out there that work hard and I am grateful for the opportunity to represent them." Chris Long of Virginia, George Selvie of South Florida, Aqib Talib of Kansas and last year's Nagurski winner, James Laurinaitus of Ohio State, were other finalists. Dorsey has also been named a finalist for several other awards - the Outland, Bednarik, Lombardi and Lott Awards. He has helped the Tigers to the national championship game against Ohio State on January 7 in New Orleans. Through 13 games this year, Dorsey ranks as the Tigers' third-leading tackler with 64 stops. He is also responsible for six sacks, 11 1/2 tackles for loss, four quarterback hurries and three passes defended.
