Poz won!!!
ORLANDO, Fla. -- Penn State's Paul Posluszny, who helped the No. 3 Nittany Lions earn a share of the Big Ten championship, won the Butkus Award as the nation's best linebacker on Saturday night.
The award, given by the Orlando Downtown Athletic Club, is Posluszny's second national honor. He won the Bednarik Award as the nation's best defensive player on Thursday.
"They're both huge honors, but I'd have to say, as a linebacker, that this one means a lot more to me," Posluszny said. "Playing linebacker, to win the Butkus Award means you're the top person at your position and that's the biggest thing you can do."
Posluszny beat out Ohio State's A.J. Hawk and Alabama's DeMeco Ryans in becoming the second Penn State linebacker to win the Butkus Award in its 21-year history. LaVar Arrington won in 1999.
This season, Posluszny has 111 tackles, including 11 for loss, and three sacks.

The Orlando Sentinal reported he was staying... and so do most other reports from people close to him, but whenever I have heard him talk about it... it sounds like he is going to the NFL. He always says things like "I have to do whats best for my family" or something like that... so we will have to wait and see what happens.

Poz filed paperwork with the NFL Draft Advisory Board... they will tell him where he can expect to go in the draft. About a month ago he said he would return for his senior year, but now it looks like he is having second thoughts.
