UCLA linebacker Sammy Omosigho has been named a semifinalist for the Butkus Award, which honors the nation's top linebacker in college football. The announcement was made by the Butkus Award selection committee on November 1, 2026.
Omosigho, a key defensive player for the Bruins, has recorded notable statistics this season, though specific numbers were not provided in the initial report. The Butkus Award is one of the most prestigious individual honors for linebackers at the collegiate level.
The semifinalist list includes standout linebackers from across the country. Finalists will be announced later in the season, with the winner typically revealed in December.
