It’s still Monday, and Otega Oweh continues to rack up the preseason awards. Just hours after being named a candidate for the Naismith Men’s Player of the Year, Oweh was named to the preseason watchlist for the 2025-26 Oscar Robertson Trophy.
Oweh, the 6-foot-4 senior guard, was named among the 50 players to watch for the Oscar Robertson Trophy, which honors the top men’s college basketball player at the conclusion of every season. He is the only Kentucky player on the list.
“The USBWA is excited to reveal its first Watch List for the Oscar Robertson Trophy, which honors the nation’s top men’s college basketball player at the conclusion of every season,” said 2025-26 USBWA President Matt Norlander of CBS Sports.
