Every year the [autotag]William V. Campbell[/autotag] foundation awards a senior football player with a GPA over. 3.2 who exhibits leadership both on and off the field.
The foundation announced their finalist and [autotag]Notre Dame football[/autotag] linebacker [autotag]JD Bertrand[/autotag] was one of them. The leader of the Irish defense has been great on the field this season, first on the team in tackles with 52, despite missing a game due to a concussion.
Bertrand has been on fire the last two games, 20 tackles, 1.5 sacks and his leadership to help right the ship against USC. No Notre Dame player has ever won the Campbell Award and Bertrand could break that streak.
