Once the preseason award watch lists start coming out, you know college football and crisp, fall air are just around the corner. Per usual, the Wisconsin Badgers have a handful of players representing the team, most notably running back Braelon Allen on offense and OLB Nick Herbig and NT Keeanu Benton on defense.
Allen, who is on all of the other offensive award watch lists a running back should be on, is also on the Walter Camp Player of the Year award’s radar. A Big Ten RB (Kenneth Walker III of Michigan State) won the award last year and there are eight total Big Ten players on the watch list ahead of the 2022 season.
