Alabama kicker Will Reichard named to Lou Groza Award watch list

Alabama football’s Will Reichard named to the Lou Groza Award watch list!

Will Reichard is arguably the greatest kicker in Alabama football history and the senior from Hoover has now been named to the Lou Groza Award watchlist.

The Lou Groza Award is given annually to the nation’s top placekicker and Reichard is certainly among the best.

Reichard has been the Alabama placekicker since 2019 and was awarded an extra season due to COVID. Now in his fifth season with the Tide, Reichard has a chance to write his name in the Alabama history books.

For his career, Reichard is 240-242 on extra points and 62-75 on field goal attempts for an impressive 82.7 field goal percentage.

Reichard already holds the Alabama record for career points with 426 and winning the Lou Groza Award would just add to his already historic career with the Crimson Tide!

Texas’ D’Shawn Jamison selected to Paul Hornung Award watch list

Preseason honors continue to roll in for members of the Longhorns.

Preseason honors continue to roll in for members of the Longhorns as defensive back and return specialist D’Shawn Jamison has been named to the 2022 Paul Hornung Award watch list.

The honor is rewarded annually by the Louisville Sports Commission to the most versatile player in college football.

Jamison certainly fits the bill of a versatile player for Texas. The fifth-year senior has played in 48 games at multiple spots in the defensive backfield along with serving as the team’s primary kickoff and punt returner.

In his Texas career thus far Jamison has made 115 total tackles, snagged four interceptions and 10 pass breakups. On special teams he has brought back three kicks for scores while averaging 26.6 yards per kick return, both stats good for second in program history.

Here is a full look at the 2022 Paul Hornung Award watch list.

Texas WR Xavier Worthy named to Biletnikoff Award watch list

Star freshman Xavier Worthy has been recognized as one of the top receivers in college football.

Even with Texas’ season not going nearly as planned, their star freshman receiver has been making waves in Austin.

Xavier Worthy has been the best player on the offensive side of the ball outside of running back Bijan Robinson. He has been the lone bright spot in a receiver group that has been as inconsistent as they come all season.

Worthy’s stellar freshman campaign has rightfully earned him recognition as one of the top receivers in college football. On Wednesday, he was named to the Biletnikoff Award watch list, which honors the season’s most outstanding FBS receiver.

Worthy has certainly earned the right to be in this discussion. He has posted 33 catches for 657 yards, seven touchdowns, while averaging an impressive 19.9 yards per catch.

He is on pace to break multiple Texas records for a freshman receiver, as he is just 242 yards away from breaking Roy Williams’ record for most receiving yards by a freshman. His seven touchdowns are also just two shy of Williams’ record for most touchdown catches by a freshman in school history.

With four games left in the regular season, and a possible bowl game on the horizon, it is seeming very likely that Worthy will be able to reach these marks, and potentially blow them out of the water.
