Hawaii cornerback Cam Stone was among 35 defensive backs named Thursday to the Jim Thorpe Award Preseason Watch List.
Stone, a senior from Angleton, Texas, earned honorable mention All-Mountain West honors last season for Wyoming when he posted 10 pass breakups and two interceptions. Last month, Stone was named to the preseason All-Mountain West first team as selected by the league’s media.
The award is given to college football’s best defensive back based on performance on the field, athletic ability and character.
