Two more Wisconsin Badgers receive preseason watch list honors

Watch list season is up and running for the 2021 football season

We’ve entered watch list season for the 2021 college football season.

We’ve already seen Wisconsin’s Jalen Berger, Graham Mertz, Jack Sanborn and Paul Chryst receive various honors.

But earlier today, two more Wisconsin Badgers saw their names included in preseason watch lists for position awards.

First, it was Wisconsin star tight end Jake Ferguson on the John Mackey Award Watch List.

Ferguson starred for the Badgers in each of the last three years, totaling 99 catches, 1168 yards and 10 receiving touchdowns.

The future NFL tight end will look to be the first Wisconsin Badger to win the award.

Joining Ferguson on a national watch list was center Kayden Lyles, as he was named to the Rimington Trophy Watch List.

Lyles will look to be the second Badger to win the award after Tyler Biadasz did so in 2019.
