Trojans’ Bernard Davis Named To Nagurski Award Watch List
06/28/2005

DALLAS, Texas – The Football Writers Association of America (FWAA) has announced the Bronko Nagurski Trophy Watch List for the 2005 season. Troy University’s senior linebacker Bernard Davis (Madison, Fla.) is one of the 50 standout players from around the country to have been nominated for consideration in the preseason.

The Bronko Nagurski Trophy, awarded to the best defensive player in college football, has been a staple of the FWAA's awards since 1993. It is sponsored by the Charlotte Touchdown Club, which has held the annual awards banquet since 1995.

The 2005 banquet is set for Monday, Dec. 5, at the Westin Hotel in Charlotte, where five finalists will vie for the prize. Texas linebacker Derrick Johnson won the 2004 Bronko Nagurski Trophy.

Davis (5-11, 218) was a second team All-Sun Belt Conference selection last year after leading the Trojans with 108 total tackles. He was credited with seven tackles for loss last season ad two sacks to go with a pair of interceptions, one of which he returned 40 yards to set up a touchdown against LSU.

Davis is the only player from the Sun Belt Conference on the preseason Nagurski Watch List.

The FWAA All-America Committee selects the Bronko Nagurski winner from the association's 11-man All-America defensive team in late November. Players may be added to the Bronko Nagurski Watch List during the course of the 2005 season.

For the fifth straight season, the FWAA will select Bronko Nagurski National Defensive Players of the Week, beginning with games the week of Sept. 3 and running through the middle of November. Each national player of the week will be added to the trophy's watch list throughout the season.
