Arkansas offensive tackle DeMarcus Love was named to the 2010 Outland Trophy Watch List on Monday morning.
The Outland Trophy recognizes the nation's top offensive and defensive linemen, centers and offensive guards. Love has been a mainstay on the Razorbacks' offensive front for the past two years and will enter his third season as a tackle after beginning his career at guard.
Love has started 24 games in his Arkansas career, including all 13 last season. He was part of an offense that led the Southeastern Conference in scoring (36 points) and passing offense (295.5 yards) in 2009. The Razorbacks also were third in total offense (427.3).
Arkansas has had two Outland Trophy winners in its history. Offensive guard and defensive tackle Bud Brooks won the award in 1954. Loyd Phillips was the recipient of the honor in 1966.
Love was one of 62 players named to the Outland Trophy Watch List. The Football Writers Association of America, which announced the Outland Trophy Watch List on Monday, will add and delete players as the season progresses.
The FWAA All-America Committee will name three finalists in late November. The winner of the 2010 Outland Trophy will be named on Dec. 9.
