A pair of Wolverine defenders grabbed some more preseason recognition on Monday. Senior defensive tackle Kris Jenkins and junior linebacker Junior Colson have both been named to the preseason watch list for the Bednarik Award, which is given out annually to the top defensive player in all of college football.
Jenkins and Colson both enjoyed breakout seasons last year for Michigan and will surely be important contributors once again in the team’s effort to return to the College Football Playoff.

They're on the Bednarik Award Watch List for the most outstanding defensive player in college football.
