Three Georgia players make Bronko Nagurski Trophy watch list

Three Georgia football players have been added to the 2021 Bronko Nagurski Trophy watch list, given annually to college football’s best defensive player.

Defensive lineman Jordan Davis, inside linebacker Nakobe Dean and safety Tykee Smith all made the watch list.

Davis is returning to the University of Georgia for another season. Davis was projected as a high 2021 NFL draft pick, but he is returning to do some unfinished business.
