The Butkus Award plans to release finalists on Nov. 21. It will announce the winner on Dec. 7. It initially had 51 high school football linebackers on a September watch list, including Irish four-star EDGE commit Bryce Young from Charlotte (N.C.) Christian.
Last year, Notre Dame linebacker Drayk Bowen won the award after an outstanding senior season at Merrillville (Ind.) Andrean. In 14 games, he registered 144 total tackles (90 solo), 19 tackles for loss and five sacks. Not to mention five pass breakups, four caused fumbles, two interceptions, a fumble recovery and a blocked punt.
Former Notre Dame linebackers Manti Te’o (2008), Jaylon Smith (2012) and Prince Kollie (2020) previously earned the honor in high school. Smith and Te’o are the only players to win the high school and collegiate awards. Kollie transferred to Vanderbilt in the spring after two seasons with the Irish.
The 6-foot-3, 215-pound Kahoun is having a remarkable senior campaign. The three-star recruit from Roanoke (Va.) Patrick Henry High has registered 177 tackles (100 solo), 22 tackles for loss, 7 sacks and a pass breakup in 10 regular season games. He also has 3 fumble recoveries, 1 forced fumble and a blocked punt.
