MOBILE, Ala. | The Football Writers Association of America released its 2022 Bronko Nagurski Trophy Watch List Tuesday, selecting 85 defensive standouts from 61 schools in all 10 Division I FBS conferences plus independents. The watch list includes five returning players from last season's FWAA All-America team.
Among the selections on this year's watch list is South Alabama defensive back Darrell Luter, Jr., who was recently named to the Athlon All-American fourth team and to the Jim Thorpe Watch List, as well as preseason first-team all-Sun Belt honors earlier this week.
He returns after a stellar junior season in which he earned first-team all-conference honors, while also three All-America accolades.
