GRR: Scholz Award
While the D1A season ended a little earlier than Sam Golla wanted, the Cal captain has received accolades from around the country for his play.
This is tough to do for a lock, and a testament, in part, to Golla's play and leadership, and also to the attention the Rudy Scholz Award panelists give to rewarding the best players in the country.
West Point tighthead Larry Williams has been known to GRR readers for some time.
The finalists for the 2021-22 Rudy Scholz Award have been named.
The four players, who coincidentally will all be in action this coming weekend in the DIA semifinals, were selected from the previous list of 16 nominees based on votes from college rugby teams, as well as fans, from around the country. The opinions of college rugby coaches and experts weight heavily in this vote.
With input from fans and coaches around the country, the Rudy Scholz Award Panel has named its 2021-22 Scholz Award Nominees.
These 16 players will be whittled down to a group of finalists with the help of the rugby community, who get to vote on who should be finalists.
The vote on who you would like to see as a finalist, see the form below.
Fans can now submit their own suggestions for nominees for the Rudy Scholz Award, given each year to the top Men's Collegiate player in US rugby.
