Five UCLA players named to Outland, Nagurski Trophy watch lists

While preseason award watch lists don’t mean much, it’s fitting that Kenny Clark got spots on two of them this morning.

One of UCLA’s most valuable players, the junior defensive tackle made lists for both the Outland Trophy — for best lineman on either side — and the Bronko Nagurski Trophy, for college football’s best defensive player.

He was joined in the former category by senior center Jake Brendel, who was also listed for the Rimington Trophy this week, as well as fellow defensive lineman Eddie Vanderdoes.

The two other Bruins watch-listed for the Nagurski were linebacker Myles Jack and cornerback Fabian Moreau.
