IOWA CITY, Iowa – University of Iowa senior defensive end Nate Meier is one of 32 players named to the midseason Watch List for the 14th edition of the Ted Hendricks Award. The list was released Monday afternoon by the Ted Hendricks Foundation.
The Ted Hendricks Award is named in honor of college football’s first three-time first-team All-American. As a defensive end at the University of Miami, Hendricks used his agility, height and reach to block passes and kicks, force interceptions and pressure quarterbacks and running backs. He roamed the front line, read plays and blitzed on impulse, completely transforming the defensive end position.
