Clemson Football has two more appointments to preseason award watchlists.
Barrett Carter and Jeremiah Trotter have been named to the Butkus Award preseason watchlist, given annually to the best linebacker in the nation.
The Butkus Award was created in 1985 by the Downtown Athletic Club of Orlando. It is named after legendary Illinois and Chicago Bears linebacker Dick Butkus. Butkus played for the Fighting Illini from 1962-62 and was a consensus All-American. He is in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
The 2022 award was given to Jack Campbell of Iowa. The only winner from Clemson is Isaiah Simmons, who won the award in 2019.
