As a member of the Football Writers Association of America, College Football America staff members Chuck Cox, Matthew Postins and Kendall Webb are proud to be a part of the panel that will select the 2014 Nagurski Award, given to the nation’s top defensive player in college football. The FWAA posted the watch list for the Nagurski Award today and we’re proud to present it below. As a side note, we are putting the finishing touches on the College Football America 2014 Yearbook Encyclopedia. It will be hitting Amazon.com and other outlets later this month. We hope you’ll take a moment to consider purchasing the most comprehensive college yearbook on the market, which features information on every team in college football, from FBS to junior college.
