One of just two returning FBS players to lead his team in tackles each of the last three seasons, Oregon senior linebacker Troy Dye was named to the 35th annual Dick Butkus Award Watch List on Monday. Already on the watch list for the Chuck Bednarik Award and Lott IMPACT Award, Dye has been on the Butkus Award list each of the last two seasons. Dye will join quarterback Justin Herbert and head coach Mario Cristobal at Pac-12 Media Day on Wednesday. Dye returned for his senior season after leading Oregon in tackles for the third consecutive year in 2018. He became the first Oregon player with 100 tackles in back-to-back seasons since Michael Clay (2011-12) and the 15th player in program history to reach 300 career tackles. A two-time Pac-12 All-Conference choice, Dye is coming off a junior campaign in which he ranked seventh in the Pac-12 with a career-high 115 tackles. The Norco, Calif., product led Oregon in tackles 10 of the last 13 Pac-12 games dating back to 2017.
