Preseason watch list season continues, with the Football Writers Association of America releasing a 70-man watch list for the 2016 Outland Trophy on Friday morning.
The award — which is handed out annually to the nation’s top interior lineman — features 22 offensive tackles, 20 offensive guards, 11 centers and 17 defensive tackles. The SEC has the most representatives on the list with 11.
Throughout the season, players can be added and dropped from the watch list as their play on the field dictates their standing.
Who are the athletes who have been tabbed as the early favorites to claim the award?
