2 MAC football players nominated for walk-on trophy

+

This is a pretty cool trophy; never heard of it until today. Toledo junior OL A.J. Lindeman and Kent State senior defensive lineman Lee Stalker were nominated for the Burlsworth Trophy, awarded to the top college football player who began his career as a walk-on. Lineman has played in all 10 games for UT this year. Stalker has helped that vaunted Flashes D-line with two sacks, 3.5 TFL and two pass breakups. And yes, there's fan voting.
