Oklahoma Sooner Football Articles and Notes
Harris named to Thorpe Award Watch List: Oklahoma safety Nic Harris has been named to the preseason watch list for the Jim Thorpe Award, which is presented annually to the top defensive back in college football. The award is based in Oklahoma City. Earlier, Harris, a senior from Alexandria, La., was named to the preseason watch list for the Bednarik Award (with four other sooners), which is designated for college football's top defensive player. Harris was a first-team All-Big 12 selection last season after recording 74 tackles and two interceptions. He also tied for second on the team with 9.5 tackles for loss. The Jim Thorpe Award "watch list" is determined by analysis of the pre-season All-America teams listed in at least six pre-season annual magazines. Four points are awarded for First Team, three points for second team, two points for third and one point for fourth teams and honorable mentions. This procedure determines approximately 40 players on the pre-season watch list. (SoonerSports PR)
