Vols Prentiss Waggner named to Bednarik Award watch list

Waggner started the 2010 season at safety, but thrived when he was moved back to cornerback, the position he played in high school. He finished the season tied for third in the SEC and 15th in the nation with five interceptions. His three interception returns for a touchdown set a UT record.

Waggner, who is one of 18 SEC players on the watch list, also recovered two fumbles and was fifth on the team with 57 tackles. His late-season accolades garnered some national recognition, which also included All-SEC second team honors.
