Christian Harris mysteriously snubbed from preseason Butkus Watch List

Two more preseason award watch lists were announced on Monday, and three University of Alabama football student-athletes were chosen as candidates. The duo of Dylan Moses and Shane Lee were named to the Dick Butkus Award list, while Patrick Surtain II was recognized for the Jim Thorpe Award watch list.

All three individuals are highly talented and expect to get the Crimson Tide back to winning national championships; however, did the program have a player snubbed from the Butkus Award watch list?

As productive as Christian Harris was last season, the Baton Rouge (La.) native was not named among the 51 candidates for the honor that goes to college football’s most outstanding linebacker.
