Linebackers Malik Harrison, Tuf Borland named to Butkus Award watch list

Ah yes, the preseason watch lists keep on doing their thing. Throughout the past couple weeks, different awards and conferences have announced their watch lists, letting us know who we should keep an eye on this season.

The Butkus Award was the latest to announce their preseason watch list. An award for the best linebacker in the country, 51 names were included. And of those 51, two of them are members of the Ohio State Buckeyes.

Malik Harrison and Tuf Borland cracked the list, and it’s understandable why.

Last season, Harrison was tied with Jordan Fuller for the most tackles (81) on the team.
