Bronko Nagurski Trophy:
Landon Jackson was named to the watch list July 30. The award is given to the best defensive player in college football. Jackson returns as potentially the Hogs' best player on the team, racking up 13.5 tackles for loss and 6.5 sacks last year. Don't expect Jackson to know that he's on this list though.

"You’ve just got to keep your head out of the media because you’ll see one bad thing," Jackson said. "That one bad thing is almost equivalent to seeing 100 good things. It’s better not to even look at it."

Hasz looked on his way to a breakout freshman season before injuring his clavicle on the opening drive in week 5 against Texas A&M. Despite this, he still finished third on the team with 253 receiving yards.
