Spikes a Lombardi Trophy Semifinalist

Junior LB Brandon Spikes is one of 12 players selected as a semifinalist for the Lombardi award, presented annually to college football's top
lineman or linebacker.

Four finalists will be selected in November, and this year's winner will be announced at the Dec. 10 award dinner at the Hilton Americas Hotel in downtown Houston.

Spikes leads the Gators with 46 tackles and intercepted two passes against LSU, one of which he returned 52-yards for a touchdown. Spikes ranks third in the SEC with 9.2 tackles per game.
