Joshua Simon named to Freshman All-American midseason watch list

With the regular season now at its halfway point, the Football Writers Association of America released its 2019 Midseason Watch List for the Freshman All-American Team on Wednesday afternoon.

First-year standouts from across the country were named to the list, and one of the 70 student-athletes honored was WKU tight end Joshua Simon.

Simon is one of just two tight ends to earn the recognition. The only other tight end on the list was Texas A&M's Jalen Wydermyer, who has 13 receptions for 172 yards and four touchdowns so far this season.
