Oregon senior defensive back Ugochukwu Amadi received the Lombardi Award for the 2018 college football season at a banquet Friday night hosted by Lombardi Honors.
Chosen from a pool of seven finalists that included Oklahoma quarterback Kyler Murray and Clemson defensive tackle Christian Wilkins, Amadi was named the top FBS player regardless of position based on the Lombardi Award's criteria of "performance and leadership honed by character and resiliency."
Amadi in 2018 became the first Power 5 player since 2015 to return two interceptions and also a punt for a touchdown in the same season.
A five-time game captain who shared Oregon's team MVP award with QB Justin Herbert, Amadi also was an active participant in community outreach projects while leading a secondary that featured three sophomores at the other starting spots.
A native of Nashville, Tenn., Amadi started all 13 games at safety in 2018,

Carrie is an Oregon football fan who is unfortunately suffering from cancer. It was honor for my teammates and I to come show our support. Giving back to our community and doing the little things is humbling. #GoDucks
