After the Maxwell Football Club released its candidates on the Maxwell Award Watch List, including Jeremy Johnson and Duke Williams, and Cassanova McKinzy was placed on the Bednarik Award list earlier this week, the Football Writers Association of America added more Tigers to the preseason award lists.
Avery Young and Alex Kozan made the cut for the 2015 Outland Trophy, while Jonathan Jones and Carl Lawson are contenders for the Bronko Nagurski Trophy Watch List.
Cassonova McKinzy also made the Nagurski Award Watch List, placing him in two positions to win.
The Outland Trophy is awarded to the nation’s top interior lineman, who is voted on from the entire membership of the FWAA All-American Committee.
There are 81 interior linemen up for the award, including 16 from the Southeastern Conference alone.
Eighty-eight players make up the Nagurski Award Watch List, which has presented the award for the defensive player of the year since 1993.
