Today started off the award watch list season as the Maxwell and Bednarik Award watch lists were announced.
Good news for UCLA Football fans, QB Josh Rosen was named to the Maxwell (for best college football player) and DT Eddie Vanderdoes was named to the Bednarik (Defensive college football player of the year).
With Head Coach Jim Mora doing well in recruiting and in developing players, we can expect a few more Bruins to show up on these award watch lists. So which UCLA players will get some recognition? You will just have to wait as the lists are revealed!

In my honest opinion, I can see the UCLA Football team having a player or coach named to 11 of the remaining award watch lists. Though these are preseason expectations, we could also have a few surprises from UCLA as the season progresses. Go Bruins!
