The Cowboys’ sophomore sultan of sack is on another preseason list.
Collin Oliver made the Bednarik Award’s preseason watch list, it was announced Monday. The Bednarik is given annually to college football’s most outstanding defensive player. This comes after Oliver was named to the Nagurski watch list last week, an award also given to the best defender in college football.
Oliver led the Cowboys with 11.5 sacks last season en route to making a handful of freshman All-American teams. He was also named the Big 12’s Freshman Defensive Player of the Year. He had three multiple sack games as a true freshman, and in a five-game stretch toward the end of the season, he had seven sacks.
