John Moffitt has won the 2010 Walter Camp Award given annually to the best college football player from Connecticut. Even though he doesn't play in Connecticut...The award is given to anyone that still has residency in the state of Connecticut. Being from Guilford Conn. the senior guard is eligible to win the "Connecticut Player of the Year Award" and could you name anyone else more deserving? Of course not.
This past season Moffitt has been part of perhaps the best offensive line in Wisconsin history. On an offense that has set school records for scoring, and has almost three different players with 1,000 yards rushing for the year. Add all that together and you've got one thing...the 2010 Walter Camp Award winner.
In fact Moffitt isn't the first Badger to win the award. Actually he is not even the second either.
Total there have been four Badgers that have won the Walter Camp Award. Names like Tarek Saleh, Bobby Meyers, and Antajj Hawthorne. Add in Moffitt, and you have the four that have won it. But the Badgers have won the award five times...
In 1995 and 1996 Saleh won the award in consecutive years. Making the grand total of Walter Camp Awards for the Badgers five, but don't count on Moffitt winning it one more time. Unless they extend the eligibility to the NFL. Where Moffitt should be next fall.
