Will Johnson, Mason Graham named to 2024 Nagurski Award watchlist

The Michigan Wolverines anticipate having one of the best defenses in college football in 2024. To get there, they’ll need to be led by some elite players, and the voters for the Bronko Nagurski Award think that a few of them could reside in Ann Arbor.

Defensive tackle Mason Graham and cornerback Will Johnson were two of 75 players around the country who made to the Nagurski Award watchlist, announced on Tuesday.

The Nagurski Trophy is presented annually by the Football Writers Association of America (FWAA) to the best defensive player in college football.
