Charles Snowden named to Nagurski Trophy, Butkus Award watchlists

The preseason honors are rolling in for Virginia linebacker Charles Snowden. While there are a lot of questions that remain around whether or not the football season will take place — or even what it will look like if it does happen — Snowden continues to show he is one of the players to watch in 2020.

The watch list for the Nagurski Trophy — an award given to the country’s best defensive player — was announced on Tuesday afternoon by the Football Writers Association of America (FWAA). The list, which is made up of 98 players, includes 17 athletes from the Atlantic Coast Conference.
