Kentucky football is getting a good deal of preseason attention, as several Wildcats have made their way onto preseason award watch lists.
Defensive back Mike Edwards (Jim Thorpe Award), linebacker Josh Allen (Butkus Award) and Benny Snell (Doak Walker Award, Maxwell Award) have all been named to preseason watch lists in the past week.
Edwards, on the Thorpe Award watch list for the best defensive back in college football, is one of a few stars on the defensive side of the ball for Kentucky. He considered skipping his senior season to enter the NFL Draft, but elected to return to UK.
