From UCLA:

NEWPORT BEACH, Ca. - UCLA Safety Tony Dye has been named to the 2011 Lott IMPACT Trophy Watch List, honoring the top collegiate defensive player in the country. The announcement came at a luncheon hosted by Ronnie Lott and the Pacific Club IMPACT Foundation.
Dye is a 5-11, 205-pounder from San Jose who led the Bruins in tackles last season with 96.
This is the eighth year that the IMPACT Foundation has recognized the student-athletes throughout the nation who have had the biggest IMPACT on their teams both on and off the field. IMPACT is an acronym for Integrity, Maturity, Performance, Academics, Community and Tenacity, characteristics that Ronnie Lott exhibited throughout his brilliant Hall of Fame career at both USC and in the National Football League.
The 2011 list of 42 (Lott's uniform number) includes 19 defensive backs, 14 linebackers and nine defensive linemen. There are 11 players from the ACC, eight from the SEC, seven from the Big Ten, six from the Pac-10, six from the Big 12, one from the Big East, one from the Mountain West, one from the Western Athletic Conference and one from Notre Dame.

I hope he stays healthy and has a great year! I can see him as "the" leader of the defense this year especially as a senior. With similar stats as 2010 and at least 2 or 3 interceptions we'll have another bruin from the backfield in the nfl (potential second or third round draft pick).

Congrats to Tony. Next year, Larimore, Zumwalt, Owa, Datone Jones, Marsh, and Hester could all be on the list. Go Bruins!

Dye went to Corona Santiago in Corona!
