Webb earned Second Team All-America recognition from the Associated Press and Walter Camp last season. White started all 14 games at center for the Flames on his way to Second Team All-CUSA honors. Pete started all 13 games for the Aggies last season and remains a key piece despite NMSU's mass exodus of key contributors. For WKU, this will be Leslie's third season starting on the Outland watch list.
The Football Writers Association of America will announce the 2024 Outland Trophy semifinalists on November 20, and those players will then be paired down to three finalists announced on November 26. The winner will be announced on December 12, 2024
