"Boston College junior linebacker Luke Kuechly is among 40 players to watch for 2011 Player of the Year honors, according to an announcement made by the Walter Camp Football Foundation on Monday."

"Kuechly, a 6-foot-3, 237-pound junior, was a consensus All-America first-team choice as a sophomore in 2010 after he led all collegiate players in tackles (183) and solo tackles (110). The Cincinnati, Ohio, resident, is one of seven players named to this year's watch list that received All-America first-team honors from the Walter Camp Football Foundation last fall."
