DALLAS (FWAA) The FWAA has announced the 2004 Bronko Nagurski
Watch List, which is a compilation of the best defensive players in
college football regardless of position.
The winner of the Bronko Nagurski Trophy, presented by the FWAA and the
Charlotte Touchdown Club, will be named on Dec. 6 at a banquet in Charlotte,
N.C. Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops will be the keynote speaker.
Last seasons Bronko Nagurski winner was Oklahoma defensive back Derrick
Strait, who was the second Sooner to win the award in three seasons. Oklahoma
defensive back Roy Williams won the award in 2001.
The FWAA will select a defensive player of the week during the 2004 season.
Top defensive performances around the country will be submitted by schools
and conferences. And an FWAA committee will select the winner from those
nominees.
None of the 2003 Bronko Nagurski finalists returns this season, but a
finalist from 2002, Georgia end David Pollack, is returning for his senior
season.
One player per school is listed below. But all defensive players on the
All-America Watch List are considered by the FWAA All-America Committee.
Those players who win defensive player of the week awards and have not been
previously listed also will be considered. Please contact your conference
committee person for updates during the season.
