Arizona’s preseason kicks off in earnest on Friday when coach Jedd Fisch and players Jacob Cowing and Christian Young participate in Pac-12 Football Media Day in Los Angeles. Until then, it’s still technically the offseason.
Or, in other words, “preseason watch list” season.
The latest CFB awards to release their early watch lists are the ones for the Lou Groza and Ray Guy awards, and Arizona has a guy on each one.
UA kicker Tyler Loop is up for the Groza, given annually to the nation’s top placekicker, while punter Kyle Ostendorp is an early candidate for the Guy given to the best punter in the country.
