per the Daily:
The college football world noticed enough to put Boddy-Calhoun and fellow Minnesota cornerback Eric Murray on the Bronko Nagurski and Chuck Bednarik watch lists for the nation’s top defensive player this summer, but both were left off the Jim Thorpe award list for the nation’s top defensive back.
Despite his other accolades, Boddy-Calhoun still wasn’t surprised by the omission.
“No, because that’s always my expectations,” Boddy-Calhoun said. “I was actually surprised to be on watch lists in general. But if there was one that I really wanted to be on it was the Jim Thorpe watch list. But that doesn’t mean I still can’t win it.”
Inside the Minnesota program, though, Boddy-Calhoun is no Rodney Dangerfield. He was named a team captain this offseason, leading the team’s defense in summer workouts.
“He’s a kid that loves football. Loves to play every day, loves competing, and the kids’ got a great deal of respect for him,” Minnesota head coach Jerry Kill said. “More so than anything, kids follow him. That’s a good thing.”
