Who Watches the Watch Lists? We watch them! We'll break down the awards and profile the players to watch.
Who: Avery Young
Size: 6-6 / 305
Year: Junior
Position: OL
Watch Lists: Lombardi Award, Outland Trophy
The Lombardi Award is given to "down linemen, end-to-end, either on offense or defense." Young will be competing against his teammate LB Cassanova McKinzy. Auburn boasts two former winners of the Lombardi Award, Nick Fairley and Tracy Rocker, so he would be the first offensive lineman from Auburn to win.
Young is also one of 81 players named to the Outland Trophy Preseason Watch List.
