OKLAHOMA CITY — UTSA safety Rashad Wisdom has been named to the Paycom Jim Thorpe Award Preseason Watch List, the Oklahoma Sports Hall of Fame (OSHOF) and Jim Thorpe Association announced on Monday.
Wisdom is one of 40 FBS players, including one of three from Conference USA, on the preseason watch list for the award, which is awarded annually to the nation's top defensive back.
This honor comes one week to the day after the Converse Judson High School product was named to the Chuck Bednarik Award Preseason Watch List. Earlier this summer, he earned a spot on Dave Campbell's Texas Football Preseason All-Texas College Team and he is a preseason first-team all-conference pick by both Athlon Sports and Phil Steele.
