| DALLAS (FWAA) – The 2010
Outland Trophy Watch List has been announced by the Football
Writers Association of America. The prestigious list gives football
fans the first glimpse at a great crop of college offensive and
defensive tackles, offensive guards and centers.
 The
FWAA will consider other players for the 2010 Outland Trophy Watch
List and will also delete players as the season progresses. The
FWAA All-America Committee will select three finalists in late November
and eventually the overall winner.
The Outland Trophy, presented annually since 1946, is the third
oldest award in major college football. The Outland Trophy is named
after the late John Outland, an All-America lineman at Penn and
Kansas at the turn of the century. The 2010 winner will be announced
on The Home Depot ESPNU College Football Awards Show on Dec. 9.
The Outland Trophy presentation banquet, sponsored by the Greater
Omaha Sports Committee, will be on Jan. 13 in Omaha, Neb.
