With the Maxwell Football Club announcing their award watchlists today, 81 players were put on a watch list for the Bednarik Award this season. Two of the those 81 reside in Tuscaloosa.
Alabama defensive lineman Raekwon Davis and linebacker Dylan Moses are both seen to be in the hunt for the award given out to college football’s best defensive player. Recently the crimson tide has flexed their muscles in this race as they have won two in the last three years. Jonathan Allen won the universities first Bednarik award in 2016 with Minkah Fitzpatrick taking it home the following year in 2017.
