It’s AWARD WATCH LIST season for Notre Dame football and the rest of the country. On Tuesday, Irish defensive tackles Howard Cross III and Rylie Mills were named to the Outland Trophy Award watch list. Given the nature of the Outland to screw over Irish players (Quenton Nelson and Joe Alt specifically) I wouldn’t bet on any of this.
From the ND press release:
SOUTH BEND, Ind. – Graduate defensive linemen Howard Cross III and Rylie Mills have both been named to the 2024 Outland Trophy Watch List. The Outland Trophy is awarded to the best interior lineman in college football, and Cross III is the only returning All-American on the watch list, which is comprised of 75 players across FBS schools.
