Manti Te'o is one of the most important leaders for undefeated Notre Dame, having played in a ton of big games for the Fighting Irish.
If Manti Te'o's career at Notre Dame has seemed like something straight out of a Hollywood script, perhaps it's fitting the linebacker is cast as an underdog in the final two scenes of his collegiate career.
Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o has won the Walter Camp national player of the year.
Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o has won the Maxwell Award, given to the nation's most outstanding player.
Texas A&M junior Luke Joeckel has won the Outland Trophy, given to the nation's outstanding interior lineman. He beat out fellow finalists Jonathan Cooper from North Carolina and Alabama's Barrett Jones.
Texas A&M star Johnny Manziel has become the first freshman to win the Davey O'Brien National Quarterback Award.
From Notre Dame's unbeaten regular season to college football's biggest awards, Manti Te'o just keeps winning.
Johnny Manziel certainly has the statistics worthy of a Heisman Trophy winner. He plays in the powerful Southeastern Conference. He has a signature win _ all things Heisman voters typically look for.

Gabe Rivera was maybe the greatest defensive lineman to play at Texas Tech.
