THE SIDELINES : Buoniconti to Get Camp Award
Nick Buoniconti, a former Notre Dame All-American and All-Pro linebacker, was selected the 1990 Walter Camp Man of the Year.
“He has been a great football player, he has attained outstanding success in both law and business and he has contributed immensely to the betterment of mankind in his role as a major fund-raiser and supporter of the Miami Project to Cure Paralysis,” said Kevin O’Brien, Walter Camp Football Foundation president.
The Miami Project is an effort to find ways to cure paralyzing spinal injuries. Buoniconti has raised millions to finance the project since a football injury left his son, Marc, a Citadel linebacker, a quadriplegic.
Buoniconti will receive the award at the 24th Annual Walter Camp All-America Banquet on Feb. 16 at Yale University.
