Chambliss Eyes Butkus Award | Nebraska Cornhuskers Football News
Description
Owen Chambliss, the towering linebacker who transferred from San Diego State to Nebraska, is heating up the Butkus Award watch list — and for good reason. After a dominant 2025 season with 110 tackles, 9.5 TFLs, and 4 sacks, he became the only underclassman in the Mountain West to earn first-team All-Defense honors. Now, with his familiarity of Nebraska’s defense under Rob Aurich and his imposing 6’3”, 240-pound frame, Chambliss is poised to be a game-changer in the Big Ten. To make the final cut, he’ll need to match past Butkus winners’ elite stats — but with Nebraska’s storied history tied to the award, this could be the start of something special. Semifinalists announced in October, finalists in November — and the winner revealed before the holidays.
