FRESNO, Calif. - Bulldog senior defensive end Garrett McIntyre is one of 24 players on the preseason watch list for the 2005 Ted Hendricks Award, which is given to the nation's top defensive end. This is the fourth year for the Hendricks Award, which went to Arizona State's Tyrell Suggs in 2002 and to Georgia's David Pollack each of the last two years.
The award will be presented based on the following criteria, on-field performance, leadership, and contributions to school and community.
The award is presented by the Hendricks Foundation to honor former three-time All-American and NFL Hall of Fame player Ted Hendricks.
The foundation provides assistance to local and national charities through awards, grants and scholarship programs aimed at health, education and recreation programs for youths and seniors.
McIntyre had previously been named to the Lombardi Award watch list and was selected second-team preseason All-American by The Sporting News. He was the only WAC player on the list.
In his career, McIntyre has played both end and tackle, but will play end for his senior season. Last season he was one of the most dominating defensive players in the WAC and earned first-team All-WAC honors. He has 18 career sacks, seventh-most in Fresno State history. He was selected the defensive MVP of the 2003 Silicon Valley Football Classic as he dismantled the UCLA offensive line in the Bulldogs 17-9 victory over the Bruins.
McIntyre has excelled in the classroom having earned Academic All-WAC honors twice.
