WEST POINT – Army senior defensive end Zach Watts has been named one of
147 candidates for the 2012 National Football Foundation and College Football
Hall of Fame Scholar-Athlete Awards. The list of honorees are also considered semifinalists
for the William V. Campbell Trophy which is presented to the nation’s top
football scholar-athlete.
Candidates were nominated by their schools, which were limited to one
nominee each. In order to be nominated, players must be a senior or graduate
student in their final year of eligibility, have a GPA of at least 3.2 on a 4.0
scale, have outstanding football ability as a first team player or significant
contributor, and have demonstrated strong leadership and citizenship. The class
is selected each year by the NFF Awards Committee, which is comprised of a
nationally recognized group of media, College Football Hall of Famers and
athletics administrators.
Brigham Young:
Is Ezekiel Ansah turning heads?
Yes.
It's like watching a tennis match.
The senior, come-from-nowhere BYU defensive end is attracting
attention. He's getting legitimate looks from NFL scouts. He's no longer just a
good story, he's a great story. He's gone from a nifty novelty to a mainstay on
one of the nation's top-ranked defenses.
It wasn't supposed to be. I had my doubts in the guy heading into fall
camp — that he'd ever become a player or just a guy called Ziggy who looked
like he could play but couldn't.
Navy:
Navy is sticking with Trey Miller as its starting quarterback, head
coach Ken Niumatalolo announced after practice on Monday.
Niumatalolo admitted following Saturday's 12-0 loss to San Jose State
that he and offensive coordinator Ivin Jasper would have to take a long look at
whether to make a change at quarterback.
As expected, Niumatalolo and Jasper concluded that giving freshman
Keenan Reynolds his first career start in the hostile environment of Falcon
Stadium in a heated service academy rivalry game against Air Force was not the
best idea.
"Trey’s going to be our quarterback. I still have a ton of faith
in Trey. He needs to play better, but I know he can get it done,"
Niumatalolo said. "He’s our quarterback and he’s the guy we’re going with
this week to play against a good Air Force team. I just feel that Trey gives us
the best chance to win right now."
