Nebraska players showing up on award watch lists

Fans with Nebraska football tickets should be on the lookout for Lavonte David.
And Jared Crick.
And Alfonzo Dennard.
These guys are among several Huskers who are already showing up on preseason "watch lists" for several notable postseason awards leading into the 2011 college football season.
David, a senior linebacker, has already had his name added to four watch lists for the upcoming campaign. He recently was named among 51 candidates for the Butkus Award, which is given to the nation's top linebacker.
David, who recorded a school-record 152 tackles last year, was already on three other watch lists prior to the Butkus announcement. He is one of three Huskers in line for the Lombardi Award and is also among a trio of Nebraska players tabbed as candidates for the Bednarik Award and Nagurski Trophy.
Joining David on the Bednarik and Nagurski watch lists are Alfonzo Dennard and Jared Crick. Crick and Cameron Meredith are on the Lombardi list with David.
Crick is the lone Husker being considered for the Outland Trophy, which is given to the nation's outstanding defensive player. Dennard is also being considered for the Thorpe Award.
Three other Huskers are on trophy watch lists heading into the 2011 season. Kyler Reed is in line for the Mackey Award, Taylor Martinez is a candidate for the Maxwell Award, and Mike Caputo is on the list for the Rimington Trophy.
