CHARLOTTE, N.C., Dec. 3 (UPI) -- LSU senior tackle Glenn Dorsey Monday won the 2007 Bronko Nagurski Trophy, given to the best defensive player in college football.

Chris Long of Virginia, George Selvie of South Florida, Aqib Talib of Kansas and last year's Nagurski winner, James Laurinaitus of Ohio State, were other finalists.
Dorsey also has been named a finalist for several other awards -- the Outland, Bednarik, Lombardi and Lott Awards. He has helped the Tigers to the national championship game against Ohio State Jan. 7 in New Orleans.
Through 13 games, Dorsey has been the Tigers' third-leading tackler with 64. He is also has six sacks, 11 1/2 tackles for loss, four quarterback hurries and three passes defended.
