List of Michigan players on preseason awards watchlists

I believe that all the awards that put out an official watch list before the season starts have done so (some don't put out lists until November or January). Many Wolverines have featured on these lists:

Bronko Nagurski Trophy (best defensive player): Lavert Hill, Devin Bush, Khaleke Hudson, Rashan Gary, Chase Winovich

Jim Thorpe Award (best DB): Lavert Hill

Butkus Award (best LB): Devin Bush

Outland Trophy (best interior OL): Ben Bredeson

Mackey Award (best TE): Sean McKeon, Zach Gentry

Doak Walker Award (best RB): Karan Higdon

Paul Hornung Award (most versatile): Donovan Peoples-Jones

Maxwell Award (Player of the year): Karan Higdon, Shea Patterson

Bednarik Award (Defensive player of the year): Devin Bush, Rashan Gary, Chase Winovich

Lou Groza Award (best Kicker): Quinn Nordin

Dodd Trophy (best Coach): Jim Harbaugh

Hopefully, we're on as many finalist lists at the end of the year!
