The 2016 Outland Trophy watch list was released today and Auburn placed three players on the list. Montravius Adams, Alex Kozan, and Braden Smith are all projected to be contenders for the award that recognizes the nation’s best interior lineman in college football.
Adams also has been put up for the Nagurski Trophy which goes to the No.1 defensive player in the country. There is high expectations for Adams in 2016. The senior led all defensive linemen last season with 44 tackles. Montravius is joined by Carl Lawson on the watch list for the Nagurski and the two together are expected to lead what may be the best D-line since 2013.
Today’s announcement brings Auburn’s preseason watch list total to eight nominations. Lawson and Rudy Ford were placed on the Bednarik Award list Tuesday, which honors the top defensive player in the country. And Kicker Daniel Carlson is on the Lou Groza Award for the second year in a row.
Congratulations to these Tigers and War Eagle!
