Michigan State University’s 2015 football team is expected to do well on the field this fall. When a team is expected to do well on the field, its players usually do well on preseason “watch lists” — lists that are designed to draw attention to the award as the season approaches. Usually the lists have several dozen players on them as the organizers wish to cast as large a net as possible. Most watch lists are narrowed to a half-dozen finalists after the regular season and conference championship games are finished.
