CHICAGO – South Dakota State linebacker Adam Bock was named Monday as one of 25 finalists for the 2021 Stats Perform Buck Buchanan Award, which is presented annually to the top defensive player in the Football Championship Subdivision.
A sophomore from Solon, Iowa, Bock has registered a team-best 100 tackles (55 solo) with nine tackles for loss and 2.5 sacks. He has tallied double figures in tackles in six of 11 games this season for a Jackrabbit defense that is limiting the opposition to 18.3 points and 97.8 rushing yards per game
In addition, Bock has recorded an interception, five pass breakups, two forced fumbles and a blocked kick which he returned for a defensive extra point.
Bock and Western Illinois safety Darius Joiner are the lone finalists from the Missouri Valley Football Conference. A 50-member national media panel will select the winner, who will be announced on Jan. 7 – the eve of the FCS championship game – in Frisco, Texas.
