Three USC football players make 2024 Outland Trophy Watch List

It is that time of year: award watch list season. Players across the country are being included on watch lists for the various college football awards which will be handed out in December after the regular season ends. USC football players are included on this list. A USC athletic department presser made it official: Jonah Monheim, Bear Alexander, and Emmanuel Pregnon are on the Outland Trophy Watch list.

The Outland Trophy goes to the best interior lineman in college football. USC doesn’t have elite depth at the position across the board, but the Trojans definitely have a few individual stars. Monheim and Alexander are the two big shining lights in the trenches for the Trojans. If USC is going to be good this season, those two players have to lead the way on offense and defense, respectively.

They will also need help. One man is not enough to make a complete defense, as Tuli Tuipulotu found out for USC in 2022.
