Tyrone Prothro wins 2006 ESPY Award for Best Play

From TideSports.com:

Tyrone Prothro wowed University of Alabama football fans last season with his acrobatic plays and breathtaking style.

Wednesday night, alongside the world’s best athletes, Prothro injected the ESPY Awards with that same emotion.

The Crimson Tide’s junior wide receiver was named the winner of the 2006 ESPY Award for Best Play on Wednesday night at the Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles. ...

Prothro earned the ESPY for his spectacular catch to key a comeback victory over Southern Mississippi on Sept. 10 in Tuscaloosa. With the Crimson Tide trailing 21-10 late in the second quarter and facing a fourth-and-12 situation, Prothro caught a Brodie Croyle pass over the head and on the back of a USMdefender for a 42-yard gain. The play put the Tide on the USM 1-yard line and set up an Alabama touchdown, trimming the deficit to 21-17 and setting the Tide on its way to an eventual 30-21 victory.

Awesome! Roll Tide! Tell Tyrone congratulations at his web site here.
