Ohio State placed three players on the watch list for the Bronko Nagurski Trophy, which honors college football’s best defensive player, and the Outland Trophy, which honors college football’s best interior lineman, as watch lists for both awards were released by the FWAA on Tuesday.
The Buckeyes are represented on the Nagurski Trophy watch list by players from all three levels of their defense: Defensive end JT Tuimoloau, linebacker Tommy Eichenberg and safety Lathan Ransom.
