Despite the uncertainty that still surrounds whether the 2020 college football season will actually begin in September, #WatchListSZN remained alive and well for the past two weeks, as the National College Football Awards Association released watch lists for 14 national college football awards.
All but two of those award watch lists (the Doak Walker Award and Paul Hornung Award) included at least one Buckeye.
Because preseason watch lists tend to be expansive – some of them include 90 or more players – and tend to be based on experience more than anything else, one shouldn't place too much stock in them.
