Three Florida Gators Under Consideration for Bednarik Award


Newly appointed as the CEO of betonwerk US, Max Crumit is responsible for the company’s line of water removal pipes and drainage systems. In his free time, Max Crumit follows NCAA football, and in particular, the Florida Gators.

The 2016 Gators have three players on the watch list for the Chris Bednarik Award, given to the nation’s best defensive player by its sponsors, the Maxwell Football Club. The players are:

Senior linebacker Jarrad Davis - Playing in 14 games in 2015 and starting in 12, Davis made 98 tackles, the second highest number for the team. Of those tackles, 11 were for a loss and ranked him third for the Gators. Davis was chosen for the Gridiron Now all-SEC second team.

Redshirted defensive back Marcus Maye - The senior received first-team All-America designations from Pro Football Focus and USA Today and an honorable mention from Sports Illustrated. His 82 tackles are the highlight of his statistics and are fourth best for the team. Starting in 12 of 13 games, Maye caused five fumbles, coming in second nationally.

Junior Jalen Tabor - Responsible for two interceptions that resulted in touchdowns, Tabor earned all-SEC honors from conference coaches and five media organizations. His four total interceptions tied him for second in the conference. He played in 13 games in 2015, winning a starting spot in nine.
