The first award watch list of 2025 includes two Buckeyes.
While the watch lists for college football’s major awards will be unveiled in July and August, the Lott IMPACT Trophy kicked off watch list season early by releasing the 42 nominees for its award on Wednesday.
That list includes two Ohio State players: safety Caleb Downs, who was a finalist for the award last year, and linebacker Sonny Styles.
