Ferguson and Brooks nominated for national awards

Offensive tackle D'Brickashaw Ferguson and linebacker Ahmad Brooks were both recognized as one of the top players at their respective positions this past week, with Ferguson listed as an Outland Trophy finalist and Brooks named to the Bronko Nagurski Trophy watch list.

A three-year starter and first-team All-ACC honoree in 2004, Ferguson is one of 36 candidates for the trophy, given to the nation's best interior offensive or defensive lineman. Brooks, who was a first-team All American in 2004, is one of 50 candidates for the Nagurski -- the award given to the top defensive player in college football.
