MOBILE, Ala. – The Oklahoma Sports Hall of Fame and Jim Thorpe Association released the prestigious Paycom Jim Thorpe Award Preseason Watch List Wednesday with South Alabama Football's Jaden Voisin among the 42 defensive backs recognized.
This list includes the nation's best defensive backs, representing nine conferences and one independent university. The preseason watch list is selected by a screening committee whose members compile a list of up to 50 players based on previous performance in NCAA Division I college football and preseason All-America lists.
Voisin's spot on the Jim Thorpe Award Watch List is the latest of his many preseason awards including the Bronko Nagurski Trophy Watch List, Preseason All-Sun Belt Team and Phil Steele's and Athlon's Preseason All-Sun Belt Teams.
