Awards Watchlist Announcement Season is almost winding down, giving us about 7 weeks to argue about which of the hundreds of players involved are over- or underrated. We believe that our Aggie players are properly rated in garnering this much attention. Except that none of our safeties are on the Thorpe Award watchlist.
Myles Garrett’s watchlists:
- Walter Camp Award (Player of the Year)
- Bednarik Award (Defensive Player of the Year)
- Bronko Nagurski Award (Outstanding Defensive Player)
Christian Kirk’s watchlists:
- Paul Hurnung Award (Most Versatile Player)
- Biletnikoff Award (Outstanding Receiver)
- Maxwell Award (College Player of the Year)
- Walter Camp Award (Player of the Year)
Other Aggies on watchlists:
- DE Daeshon Hall was also named to both the Bednarik and Nagurski watchlists.
- S Armani Watts was named to the Bednarik watchlist.
- OL Avery Gennesy was named to the Outland Trophy watchlist for best interior lineman.
- QB Trevor Knight was named to the Maxwell Award watchlist. Knight was also named to the Wuerffel Trophy watchlist, rewarding community service.
- WR Josh Reynolds was named to the Biletnikoff watchlist alongside Christian Kirk.
- Head coach Kevin Sumlin is one of 24 coaches up for the Bobby Dodd Trophy, rewarding Leadership, Success, and Integrity.
Still a lot of offseason left before we find out who’s really earned it, but that’s a healthy dose of Aggie names on the awards radars. Watchlists aren’t always precursors to success, but they never hurt anyone either.
