Not a surprise. Reading his stats, it was fun reflecting on his body of work in two seasons here.

 

[CombatTargeteer]

Congrats and very well deserved.

 

[Red Reign]

Well deserved....one of the great Huskers in my opinion....man if we could have had him for four years....

One of my all-time favorites to boot....

 

[Huskers57]

kudos!

 

[Wandering Nebraskan]

Nice work Lavonte! We will certainly miss you wearing the scarlet and cream in 2012, but it'll be fun to see you on Sundays.

 

[Husker In Oklahoma]

It's a joke he didn't win the Butkus. Hasrd to imigane a better LB, much less alone 4 of them.

Agree....especially when the Butkus winner does not even make 1st team AA.

 

[USMC_BugEater]

A great young man who represented his team and university well.

They weren't thinking, or doing thier jobs. No surprise really. Just another classic example of all the dead weight in America in most all area's.

I wonder who gave Lavonte the one vote.
