The Husker linebacker and team leader continues to see his name on preseason award lists

Senior linebacker Mohamed Barry was chosen to the Butkus Award Watch list. Barry is one of 12 linebackers named to the 51-player watch list. The selection of 51 honors the No. 51 that Dick Butkus wore during his Hall of Fame career. It is the second watch list Barry has been named to, as he was on the initial Lott IMPACT Trophy watch list released earlier in the summer.

Barry, a 6-foot-1, 230-pound linebacker has embraced the role of team leader and is a critical part of the linebacking corps for the Huskers. In 2018, the Grayson, Ga., native led the Huskers and ranked second in the Big Ten with 112 tackles, including 55 solo tackles, and added 11 tackles for loss and two sacks. His 112 tackles were the most by a Husker since NFL All-Pro Lavonte David totaled 133 stops in 2011.
