College football award watch lists highlight Pac-12 talent
Jul 7, 2014
'Tis the season for preseason college football award watch lists, and there's Pac-12 talent aplenty across many of them.
Ten players from across the Pac-12 have been named to the 2014 Walter Camp Trophy watch list, which is given annually to the player of the year in major college football. The list includes some of the top quarterbacks, receivers and defenders from the conference; all of them also appear on at least one other major award watch list as well.
Stanford's Andrew Luck was the most recent Pac-12 player to win the award, which he received in 2011.
