The Honey Badger may not have brought home the Heisman Trophy, but his teammates don’t care. The Tigers chose to give sophomore cornerback Tyrann Mathieu the Charles McClendon Award as LSU’s most valuable player for the 2011 season at the team’s annual awards banquet. Mathieu was also named one of five permanent team captains as voted on by the team. He is joined on the list of captains by quarterback Jordan Jefferson, offensive guard Will Blackwell, cornerback Morris Claiborne and safety Brandon Taylor. Senior quarterback Jarrett Lee took a share of the Jeff Boss Unsung Hero Award for contributions to the team with the least amount of recognition. Lee shared the award with linebacker Ryan Baker, center/guard T-Bob Hebert and defensive tackle Bennie Logan. See the full list of award winners here.
