Eastern Washington defensive end Greg Peach was named the 14th winner of the Buck Buchanan Award Thursday night at The Sports Network's Football Championship Subdivision Awards Banquet, held at the Chattanooga Marriott on the eve of the NCAA Division I Football Championship title game.

The Buchanan Award, named for the legendary Grambling and Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle, is presented annually to the top defensive player in FCS.

"Coming in as a freshman, you see the award and you think about it," said Peach. "But I never thought I would have won it. To even be a top-16 guy on the Buchanan watch list was unbelievable for me."

Congrats to a Big Sky warrior!

Peach won by the largest margin in Buchanan Award history, earning 39 first- place votes and 313 points to finish 107 points ahead of runner-up Jovan Belcher, a defensive end from Maine. Belcher had 15 first-place votes and 206 points, while Appalachian State safety Mark LeGree placed third with 183 points.

It'll be up on his mantle, along with his Pro Bowl MVP award.

Congrats Greg, way to keep the award in the Sky!
