BOISE, Idaho – Boise State defensive end Shane Irwin was named to the 2021 Ted Hendricks Award Watch List, Wednesday.

The Ted Hendricks Award is named in honor of college football's first three-time first-team All-American. On-field performance, exceptional winning attitude, leadership abilities, contributions to school and community and academic preparedness are some of the criteria used to determine the Award's recipient each year.

Members of the national media, head coaches, professional scouts and former winners are included on the Award's selection committee. Candidates may represent any class (freshman through senior) as well as any four-year NCAA accredited school. The candidate's primary position must be defensive end.

Irwin appeared in all seven games in 2020, starting each of the last five and led the Broncos with six sacks and was second in tackles-for-loss, recording seven.

The Palos Verdes Estates, Calif., native notched two sacks among his six tackles, and a forced fumble, against Colorado State (Nov. 12). The following week, Irwin had two sacks against Hawai'i (Nov. 21).

The 2021 Ted Hendricks Award recipient will be announced Dec. 8.
