BATON ROUGE – LSU added more preseason accolades to its already impressive list on Tuesday as three Tigers – Grant Delpit, Kristian Fulton, and Jacob Phillips – have been named candidates for the Nagurski Trophy, the Football Writers Association of America announced.
The Nagurski Trophy is presented annually to the defensive player of the year in college football by the FWAA. Delpit was one of five finalist for the Nagurski Trophy last year and is the lone returner from the group back in 2019.
Called the No. 1 defensive back in college football heading in to the 2019 season by USA Today, Delpit was a unanimous All-America selection last year.
