MINNEAPOLIS -- University of Minnesota linebacker Cody Lindenberg has been named to the Dick Butkus Award preseason watch list, it was announced Tuesday. The award is presented annually to the nation's top linebacker.
Lindenberg, who is also on the preseason watch list for the Bednarik Award and Shrine Bowl 1000, played in four games last season and made 31 tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss and forced one fumble. He missed nine games with an injury.
In his career, he has played in 26 games and has made 115 tackles (72 solo) and has 7.5 tackles for loss and one sack. He has also broken up two passes and forced one fumble. The three-time Academic All-Big Ten nominee was named All-Big Ten Honorable Mention in 2022.
Butkus Award semifinalists are expected to be named Nov. 4, with finalists unveiled Nov. 25 and the winner announced by Dec. 10. Appearing on the watch list is not a requirement to win the award. The 2024 Butkus Award winners at the high school, college and pro level will be honored at an event planned for early 2025 at Memorial Stadium at the University of Illinois as part of the Big Ten Network television special.
Lindenberg and the Gophers open the season against North Carolina at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 29 at Huntington Bank Stadium. The game will be broadcast nationally by FOX and can be heard on the Gopher Radio Network.
