Bobcats senior wins Buchanan

College football: Montana State senior defensive end Caleb Schreibeis won the Buck Buchanan Award, given by The Sports Network to the top defensive player in the Football Championship Subdivision.

A former walk-on, he is the first MSU player to win the award, but the fifth from the Big Sky Conference, which has won four of the past six Buchanan awards. Eastern Washington linebacker J.C. Sherritt won the award in 2010.

Schreibeis led the FCS with eight forced fumbles and led the Big Sky with 12.5 sacks and 15 tackles for a loss. Old Dominion quarterback Taylor Heinicke won the Walter Payton Award, given to the top offensive player in the Football Championship Subdivision. He is the second sophomore to win the award.
