DALLAS -- Ole Miss' Jerrell Powe was named to watch lists for both the Outland Trophy and the Bronko Nagurski Trophy, as announced Monday by the Football Writers Association of America.
The Outland Trophy honors college football's top interior lineman, while the Nagurski Trophy is awarded to the nation's best defensive player.
A senior defensive tackle, Powe was also selected to the preliminary watch list for the Rotary Lombardi Award. The Waynesboro, Miss., native has received preseason All-America honors from multiple media outlets after an All-SEC campaign in 2009, when he tied for eighth in the conference in TFLs with 12.
The Outland Trophy, presented annually since 1946, is the third oldest award in major college football. The Outland Trophy is named after the late John Outland, an All-America lineman at Penn and Kansas at the turn of the century. The 2010 winner will be announced on The Home Depot ESPNU College Football Awards Show on Dec. 9.
The Bronko Nagurski Trophy has been presented since 1993 and is awarded in memory of the legendary Nagurski, a former All-America lineman at Minnesota in 1927-29 and a star for professional football's Chicago Bears in the 1930s. The annual Bronko Nagurski Trophy Banquet will be on Dec. 6 at the Westin Hotel in Charlotte, N.C.
