Vols' Prentiss Waggner on preseason Lott Trophy watch list

Prentiss Waggner's breakout season caught many by surprise a year ago. Count the Lott IMPACT Trophy Award committee among the people that won't be shocked if it happens again. The Tennessee junior is one of 42 preseason candidates for the honor for the top collegiate defensive player in the nation, a product of his five interceptions, three fumble recoveries and three touchdowns Waggner produced a year ago.

Waggner also tallied 57 tackles while splitting time between safety and cornerback, which he has continued to do this spring despite recently picking up a hand injury that has forced him to wear a huge cast on his left hand.
