Spartan Football MVP: B.J. Cunningham

MSU Football Senior wide receiver #3, B.J. Cunningham, was named the teams MVP (Most Valuable Player) at this years 2011 Football Awards Banquet this week.  Its easy to see why this powerhouse of a player received the Governor’s Award (MVP) by his teammates by the insurmountable amount of stats he has racked up over the last four years as a Spartan footballer.  He is MSU’s all-time leader in receptions with 211 yards and the all-time leader in receiving yards as well with 3,020 yards.  Cunningham also ranks second in State history with 25 receiving touchdowns.  Although losing last weekend to the Wisconsin Badgers in the first annual B1G Championship Game, during that game he had a career-high amount of touchdowns in one game with three touchdowns.  He also received the Downtown Coaches Club Award for Outstanding Senior Offense alongside Spartan Senior Quarterback, Kirk Cousins.  Cunningham became the first wide receiver to be given the honor of the Governor’s Award since 2002 when Charles Rodgers was awarded it.  Arguably one of the best wide receivers in the nation, Cunningham excels both on and off of the field as a student athlete originally hailing from Ohio.  With the NFL Draft coming in the near future one can’t help but recognize his potential in earning a spot with one of the leagues top teams.  Either way though, Cunningham who has wowed us with his touchdowns and strength on the field, has always been an exemplary Spartan through and through.  To B.J. Cunningham, we thank you for bringing us excitement each Fall weekend on the field and for constantly repping the Spartan name!  Good luck and GO GREEN!
