Oregon State linebacker Hamilcar Rashed Jr. has had one heck of a preseason so far.
In June, Rashed Jr. was named to both the 2020 Lott IMPACT Trophy Award Watch List and selected as a preseason Walter Camp First-Team All-American, in addition to becoming an incredibly trendy riser on 2021 NFL Draft boards, where he ranks as both a top five linebacker prospect and a top sixty prospect overall.
On Monday, he gained more national acclaim, when he was named to the 2020 Chuck Bednarik Award Watch List, an accolade which is given each year to college football’s top defensive player.
