IOWA CITY, IA – - Seniors Ricky Stanzi and Karl Klug have been named co-winners of the 2010 Roy J. Carver Most Valuable Player Award for Iowa’s football team. The announcement came today (Saturday) at the team’s annual awards banquet in Iowa City.
Stanzi, a 6-4, 230-pound quarterback from Mentor, OH, earned his second straight Roy J. Carver MVP Award. He shared it with linebacker Pat Angerer last year. He was one of five finalists for the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award, which goes annually to the nation’s top collegiate senior quarterback. He was also a semifinalist for the Maxwell and Davey O’Brien Awards.
Both players shared in numerous other awards given out at the banquet.
Both were named co-winners of the Hayden Fry “Extra Heartbeat” Award. They shared the award with senior defensive end Adrian Clayborn. Clayborn, a first-team all-American by the American Football Coaches Association and the Walter Camp Foundation, was first team all-Big Ten by both the coaches and the media. Clayborn has started 29 straight games and 36 during his career. `The Hayden Fry Award is given in honor of Iowa’s Hall of Fame coach who retired after the 1998 season. The award goes to a player who gives that little bit extra at all times.
Klug was also given the “Iron Hawk Award”. It is presented to a Hawkeye who has given his all every play, for the entire season, and has represented his team and school in an exemplary fashion
