BYU Football: Matt Bushman named to Mackey Award watch list

A second BYU Football player has found himself on a major award watch list.

On Friday morning, Cougar tight end Matt Bushman landed on the Mackey Award watch list. The Mackey award is given to the best tight end in the nation. In all, 64 players will start the season on the list.

Earlier in the week, the Doak Walker Award watch list included BYU running back Squally Canada. Canada could become the second Cougar to win that award, following Luke Staley in 2001.

Bushman would be the first BYU player to win the Mackey Award.
