Hall Eyes Bednarik Award | Utah Utes Football News

Utah’s Johnathan Hall is heating up for the Chuck Bednarik Award—college football’s top defensive honor—with a dominant season: 67 tackles, 6 for loss, 2.5 sacks, an interception, and 5 pass deflections—all while starting every game. A physical 6’1”, 225-pound force who switched from safety to linebacker and thrived, Hall brings relentless energy and elite stats. A standout in Texas before college, he’s been flawless since arriving at Utah. With no Ute ever winning this prestigious award—and its history rooted in legendary two-way play—the spotlight is on him as semifinalists are announced Nov. 10, finalists Nov. 24, and the winner crowned Dec. 11.
