It’s that time of year again! When the selection committees for the various college football awards close their eyes and throw darts at the list of players at each position, assembling a preseason “watch list” that will all but be rendered meaningless by the midpoint of the actual season.
Then again, #OffseasonContent.
Redshirt senior running back Rodney Smith has been named to the preseason watch lists for both the Maxwell Award and the Doak Walker Award. The former is awarded annually to the best all-around college football player in the country, and the latter is awarded annually to the premier running back in all of college football.
