College football season won’t kick off until late next month, but watch list season is underway.
Though it is rare that a Mountain West player takes home some postseason hardware, the conference has had a good amount of success in recent years: BYU’s Luke Staley won the Doak Walker Award way back in 2001 and New Mexico’s Teton Saltes won the Wuerffel Trophy in 2020, while Colorado State’s Trey McBride and San Diego State’s Matt Araiza earned the John Mackey Award and Ray Guy Award, respectively, in 2021.
