Kolby Harvell-Peel was one of 49 defensive backs named to the Jim Thorpe preseason watch list Monday, the Oklahoma Sports Hall of Fame and Jim Thorpe Association announced.
Oklahoma State’s leader in interceptions from 2019 is joined by three other Big 12 athletes: TCU’s Trevon Moehrig, Texas’ Caden Sterns and Iowa State’s Greg Eisworth.
There’s an argument to be made that Harvell-Peel should’ve been more of a contender for the 2019 Thorpe award, an honor that went to LSU’s Grant Delpit. Delpit is gone to the Cleveland Browns, though, so there will be a new winner in 2020.
