Michigan football standouts pack college preseason award watchlists

It's watchlist season in college football, when seemingly just about every team in the nation has at least one player on at least one award list somewhere.

But for Michigan football, the two-time defending Big Ten champion that's returning more than half of its starters and projects to have double-digit NFL draft picks next spring (in Detroit, no less), the number of players to keep an eye on is, well, numerous.

Despite the Wolverines' team success last season, only one player took home some hardware: Center Olusegun Oluwatimi won both the Outland Award (college football's best interior lineman) and Rimington Trophy (best center).
