Gators LB Spikes named to Butkus Award list

Florida Gators senior middle linebacker Brandon Spikes was announced as a semifinalist for the 25th Annual Butkus Award honoring the nation’s top linebacker.

Spikes is one of 16 NCAA student-athletes to be named to the list and stands a legitimate shot to win the award should he continue playing well through his nagging Achilles tendonitis injury.
