Georgia outside linebacker Leonard Floyd, a fourth-year junior, was named this week to the Lott Trophy watch list for top defensive player based on athletic ability and character attributes.

There will be many more Bulldog teammates showing up on similar lists.

Here are some other awards that Georgia players could make a run for this season:

Butkus Award (top linebacker)

UGA contenders: Jordan Jenkins, Lorenzo Carter, Floyd

Jenkins was a semifinalist for this award last year during a season he made 70 tackles with five sacks.
